To me, life is like a good film: entertaining, adventurous, and sometimes full of surprising twists. As a long-time finance expert and entrepreneur, I found my way into filmmaking later in my career. Today, as a producer, writer, and director, I leverage my experience to approach projects from both creative and business perspectives.
Great films are born from amazing stories, a strong passionated team, and solid preparation. Let’s write the next chapter together!
