MY APPROACH

Why I make films?

I’m interested in how films make people feel. I focus on what stays with the audience after the film ends, not just what happens on screen. I’m drawn to stories built around truth, vulnerability, and connection. As a director, I care about moments that feel lived-in and true rather than overly polished. 

What inspires me? 

I’ve been influenced by filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, Wes Anderson, Pete Docter, and Isao Takahata. Their work reminds me that great films can be both thoughtful and accessible, and that emotion is just as important as craft.

How I lead on set?

On set, I value clarity, preparation, and trust. I try to create an environment where actors and crew feel supported and focused on the work. My experience working across different departments helps me understand how each part of the process fits together.

At the end of the day, my goal is straightforward: to create meaningful work, collaborate with people I respect, and tell stories that resonate with audiences.
