Future Project

Shadows of the Mind

"Shadows of the Mind" is a gripping thriller that delves deep into the psychological labyrinth of the human psyche. The story follows a protagonist, perhaps a detective or an ordinary individual caught in extraordinary circumstances, who begins to experience strange and unsettling events. These events seem to blur the line between reality and illusion, leading the character to question what is real and what is merely a manifestation of their own mind."

Genres You're Proud of Working On

I am deeply drawn to comedy films for their power to connect people through laughter and relatability. I enjoy exploring timing, visual humor, and dialogue delivery, and I often analyze how comedy can be used to reflect society in a subtle yet impactful way. Romantic films captivate me because of their emotional depth and human connection. I am especially interested in how storytelling, cinematography, and music combine to create tender and memorable narratives that resonate across cultures.
