A Little Bit About The Filmmaker
Do you like scary movies? And if so which ones?
Yes. I’ve loved horror films since childhood. Today, my work is driven by an interest in using the genre as a metaphorical language to explore emotional experiences, especially grief, absence, and inner turmoil.
Who or what is the biggest influence in your film making?
My biggest influence comes from personal and emotional experiences, particularly themes of grief and absence. I use genre, especially horror, as a way to externalize internal feelings and transform them into visual and narrative elements.
