Film
Welcome! I am looking for opportunities that will transition me from 'student filmmaker' to 'filmmaker'.
Currently, my portfolio only features student films that I shot during my undergraduate studies, mostly as DP, sometimes as Gaffer and Director. While I am deeply passionate about all aspects, I mostly want to focus on cinematography.
As I prepare to attend film school, I'm eager to build a dynamic and diverse film portfolio that showcases my abilities as a Cinematographer. If you're interested in working together or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Let's create something amazing together!
