Summary

I love stories. Telling them. Writing them. Bringing them to life. Producing them and learning constantly how to make a good story, a memorable one. I have spent the last decade of my life telling stories through films. Short films, long-format shows and features films. Nothing excites me more than watching word to screen happen in front of my eyes. I am motivated, curious and enjoy learning on the job.
