QUICK THOUGHT

Collecting facts alone is not enough; storytelling is about the emotional connections made. When people feel comfortable and truly connected, they share their experiences with authenticity and depth. The director's role is to foster a comfortable connection, allowing the subjects to shine and to be heard.

This is my approach.

This is my passion.
