As a director and filmmaker with a fervent passion for drumming, I blend rhythm and storytelling to create captivating cinematic experiences. My journey began behind the drum kit, where I honed my sense of timing and dynamics, skills that seamlessly transitioned into filmmaking. Whether orchestrating a film set or a drum solo, I strive to evoke emotion and tell compelling stories through my dual artistic pursuits.
