"My passion for filmmaking began at a young age. I had a desire to create stories, to tell them visually and to share them with the world. There is something so powerful about filmmaking as a medium. Visual storytelling has the ability to affect its viewers emotionally, psychologically, even spiritually; it holds the power to change and reflect the mindset of an entire society."
