Born in the dry mountains of Koppe Dagh in the Middle East and living in the rainforest of the North Shore, I work across fiction and documentary to explore the profound joys and paradoxes of being human on a planet that was born by accident. I’m particularly drawn to the stories that illuminate intimate struggles within larger social narratives.

As a filmmaker, I write, direct, edit, and shape stories from spark to screen. I care deeply about collaboration, craft, and building work that resonates.
