Summary

I grew up with a painter’s eye and an obsession with stories. Cinema became the space where all of it came together—emotion, memory, chaos, control. Over the years, I’ve written and developed projects that lean into realism, psychological tension, and layered character journeys. My work spans thrillers, dramas, and everything in between—but always grounded, always personal.
