I am a filmmaker, photographer, and visual storyteller, driven by an unyielding passion for capturing the essence of human emotions and translating them into compelling narratives. What began as a humble hobby in the 1990s evolved into a lifelong dedication to the art of visual storytelling. Over the years, I have specialised in fashion and portrait photography, mastering the craft of framing emotion and character through the lens.
The turning point came in 2012, when I ventured into the world of short films alongside like-minded collaborators who shared the same creative fire. It was during this time that I discovered my profound connection to storytelling through motion pictures. This newfound passion led me to refine my skills across all facets of filmmaking, from direction and cinematography to scriptwriting, sound design, lighting, and editing.
To deepen my understanding of the craft, I pursued formal education in digital filmmaking at Singapore’s prestigious Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film. This intensive course equipped me with the technical expertise and artistic vision necessary to bring stories to life on screen.
In March 2021, I directed my debut short film, The Decision, a project that allowed me to apply the knowledge and skills I had acquired. The following year, I followed up with Not Me, another short film that further solidified my voice as a filmmaker. Both works have been celebrated globally, earning numerous awards at international film festivals and resonating deeply with audiences and critics alike.
As an artist, I am committed to creating films that explore the complexities of human emotions, blending reality with artistic interpretation. My work seeks to immerse audiences in extraordinary experiences, where they can see reflections of their own lives, dreams, and struggles. I am drawn to the drama, art, experimental, and fictional genres, and I strive to push creative boundaries by integrating cutting-edge technology in cinematography, editing, and visual storytelling.
Looking ahead, I aim to continue crafting stories that challenge perceptions, evoke empathy, and leave a lasting impact. My journey as a filmmaker is one of constant exploration, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of truth through the lens of art.
