about me
A few years ago I started out in the filmmaking craft. Once the obsession sank in I couldn't stop working on film sets whenever I received the chance and started to develop my writing skills. I just finished my first short film Tektites and am currently developing the next project.

remarks
I take pride in the fact that I am gaining experience in most disciplines of film, in order to become as a good a director as possible. Experience ranges from camera work to lighting, production assistance to art department and editing to animation.

In addition to this, most scripts that I write may be placed in the 'supernatural drama' category. What this means is that my films take place in everyday life with a layer of altered reality on top of it, creating unique settings that influence my characters. For example, my current project features two childhood friends who meet up for one last time in the last hour of planet Earth.
