… is a Los Angeles–based filmmaker, Virgo, and current Film & TV Production student at the University of Southern California. As a writer-director, his work often leans into horror, surrealism, and genre-bending tones — with a focus on emotionally complex characters and narratives that explore identity, queerness, and unspoken fears.
He creates films for those who don’t always have the platform to speak for themselves — the outsiders, the overlooked, the unheard. Through storytelling, he aims to give voice to the people and experiences that often exist on the margins.
His films blend stylized visuals with commentary on universal social issues, using absurdity, tension, and atmosphere to elevate stories that stick. With experience across short films, music videos, and branded content, he brings a strong visual eye and a deep understanding of tone and worldbuilding. He has a background in costume design and prop styling, acting, and schooling in creative writing.
Whether it’s building a world from the ground up or crafting a moment that lingers, his work centers on bold storytelling that’s strange, specific, and deeply human.
