Director's words
Filmmakers are a critical voice in our society. In this crucial juncture of civilisations, when the progressives contend with the conservatives, artificial intelligence meets creative minds, the film industry needs a unique voice that speaks the mind of the era, addresses the critical issues in our society, and creates remarkable art pieces for the world of cinema.
Throughout these years, I have been producing short films that are contemporary Kafkaesque “The Trial (2019)”, shedding light on the underrepresented groups in our society “Chaos In Mist (2022)”, exploring the meaning of existence “A Glimpse of Life (2023), and unfolding the distorted stereotypes on gender relations in the modern world “Thirst of Desires (2024)”.
In the meantime, I have been providing my expertise in cinematography and editing to support fellow independent filmmakers, which left notable award-winning works “Chance (2023)”, “BUDD-E (2023)” and “Animal Religion (2023)”. I am devoted to providing my profession, creativity and passion to your projects, which will make you proud.
