MY PHILOSOPHY

ON CHARACTERS

My intention during the documentary filmmaking process is to create the space that reveals deeper truths about the characters and their surrounding world.

ON AUDIENCE

My goal is to allow the audience to experience the extraordinary things that I had already experienced when making the given documentary.

ON PROCESS

In documentary processes I rely on my own knowledge not faith, and my inner truth which I learn anew from every single process.
