Independent Short Films

I have directed three narrative shorts — Vapour, Futile Attempts, and I Wish You Were on Drugs. Each project grew from concept to completion under my direction, where I oversaw casting, production design, cinematography, and editing.

Alongside directing, I wrote and developed two original scripts while crafting story arcs, dialogue, and visual approaches tailored to each film’s world. My cinematography background shaped the process: I designed the visual style for three of these shorts.

Together, these works represent both an exploration of narrative filmmaking and a practice in holding every stage of production — writing, directing, shooting, and editing — with equal creative weight.
