I'm a cinematographer, producer, and director for cinematic video content. As a filmmaker, I focus on digging into narrative, cinematic ways to tell stories — I'm convinced it's the best way to connect with fellow humans emotionally to make an impact. And as an entrepreneur, I firmly believe that one of the most powerful ways to change the world is through businesses run with empathy and soul. I get to be a creative artist while exploring the art of business, and for that I'm grateful.
