"Some see things as they are and say why.
I dream things that never were and say why not."
—George Bernard Shaw
Studied film production at NYU Tisch & CalArts, and graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts, one of the most prestigious film institutes in the world, I’ve been specializing in directing and visual storytelling but also had significant work experiences in other areas such as screenwriting, cinematography, producing, and production design.
I believe that making a film is to remember - even if only for a time - that those who live with us are our brothers and sisters; that they share with us the same short moment of life; that they seek - as we do - nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and happiness, winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can.
Surely this bond of common faith, this bond of common goal, can begin to teach us something. Surely, we can learn, at least, to look at those around us as fellow men. And surely we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and to become in our own hearts brothers and sisters once again.
We live today in a time of growing enmities, of communities fracturing into bitterly opposed groups. Some believe there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills. Yet many of the world's great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single person. Filmmaking is a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, an appetite for adventure over the love of ease, a determination to brave the disapproval of our fellows, the censure of our colleagues, and the wrath of our society. It is a simple idea that, in times like these, helps us think beyond our dividing walls, beyond right and wrong, beyond love and hate, and reminds us what we had been; what we are now; and what we could be.
