“Education is the key factor to a nation’s success – and giving unexpected opportunity to those who never had the chance rewards us all.”

“Filmmaking as a creative tool can yield opportunities and diversity, as well as educate and inspire. My goal is to encourage this process through direct collaboration or through personal initiatives close to my heart.”
