This journey wasn't always envisioned as a purely professional endeavor.

Like many in the industry, the strikes brought everything to a sudden halt, leaving no safety net and forcing a reevaluation of paths forward.

I've dedicated my career to film—pursuing formal education, accruing the associated costs, and navigating the relentless climb despite countless setbacks.

Year after year, I invested fully in the work, driven by a deep belief in its potential.

Along the way, I learned that raw talent or cherished ideas alone aren't sufficient.

success demands unwavering clarity amid chaos, discipline in moments of exhaustion, and a network of allies who understand the grit required to see projects through.

I've experienced that intensity firsthand, sustaining initiatives without fallback options and emerging stronger.

The frustrations of being undervalued and overlooked fueled a profound determination to create something authentic that confronts realities head-on without illusions or softened edges. It's this resolve, born from navigating the wreckage, that propels me to forge a new direction with unyielding purpose.
