MY STORY
As a kid, I always carried a camera with me, not just to document moments but to connect with people around me. One summer, I saved up enough to buy my first camcorder, driven by curiosity, adventure, and the joy of making scrappy films with friends while discovering how powerful moving images could be.
That early spark has never left me. Over time, it has grown into a quiet commitment to telling stories that matter, stories that might otherwise go unnoticed. At the heart of it, I am still chasing that same sense of wonder I felt as a kid: the belief that every project, big or small, is an adventure worth capturing.
