My Role
I believe that a great filmmaker must be versatile. My role changes with every project, allowing me to view cinema from multiple perspectives—from the technical precision of sound engineering and camera work to the big-picture vision of producing and directing.
Key Projects & Responsibilities:
Locked (2024) — Short Film
Role: Director, Producer, Cinematographer, Sound Designer.
Focus: A “full-stack” creative experiment. I managed the entire pipeline, proving my ability to execute a vision from concept to final cut. I built the atmosphere solely through my own visual composition and intricate sound design.
Locked is a university short film created as an experiment in building cinematic tension without a single spoken word. The project explores how visual storytelling and sound alone can shape emotion, guide the viewer, and sustain suspense from the first frame to the last.
I worked on this film as the director, producer, cinematographer, and sound designer, taking on nearly every stage of production.
The script was developed by me and my team, with a strong focus on rhythm, psychological pacing, and visual composition.
A defining element of the project is its entirely original sound design. Together with a colleague, I recorded every sound in a professional studio — from the smallest Foley textures to environmental ambience.
All audio was crafted, performed, and synced manually to create a detailed sonic world that replaces dialogue and becomes a storytelling tool of its own.
In Locked, sound takes on the role of language. It becomes the emotional pulse of the film, driving suspense and shaping the viewer’s experience.
This project allowed me to combine my strengths in directing, visual storytelling, and sound engineering, resulting in a cohesive short film that relies solely on atmosphere and sound to hold the audience in tension.
Intoxicated
Role: Director.
Focus: Pure storytelling and leadership. I collaborated with a full crew to bring a script to life, focusing on character arcs, emotional pacing, and on-set direction.
Intoxicated 2024 is a dramatic short film based on true events, written and produced by lead actress Anna Mayy. I was invited to join the project as the director, bringing the story to life through visual language, emotional pacing, and an intimate, character-driven approach.
My primary creative contribution was developing the film’s visual narrative — shaping every shot, composition, and movement to reflect the psychological tension at the heart of the story. Working closely with the cast and crew, I crafted a tone that highlights vulnerability, internal conflict, and the emotional weight carried by the protagonist.
Despite production limitations, the project became an important milestone in my early directing career. It allowed me to demonstrate my ability to build atmosphere, guide performances, and translate a personal story into a cohesive cinematic experience.
Intoxicated stands as a testament to my emerging directorial style: sensitive, visually expressive, and grounded in authentic human emotion.
