Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do

If given a choice, would you prefer being a director or a writer?

I would always choose to be a writer-director. I also enjoy producing stories that I believe in. Writing holds the story together, while direction brings it to life on screen. I wouldn’t want to let go of either role.

What inspires you to direct, write, or produce films?

Everything around me! Inspiration can come from the most unexpected places. That’s why I make it a point to travel, read, observe, and meet people from diverse backgrounds. I have a deep interest in design, textiles, architecture, photography, archaeology, and anthropology. Setting aside time for these interests helps me grow creatively and discover new storytelling possibilities.
