About
As a recent masters graduate in visual anthropology from the University of Manchester, I love all things film and culture. My ultimate goal is to combine my passion for filmmaking with the spread of cross-cultural knowledge and solidarity. I believe in the power of film to bridge cultural gaps, increase empathy, and create social change. I aim to create documentaries that are thought-provoking, authentic, and visually compelling. Or maybe just a little funny and weird.
My work has been influenced by my experiences living in different cultures, observing people's daily lives, and understanding their beliefs and traditions. I believe that visual anthropology has given me a unique perspective on the world, which I aim to incorporate into my work.
In addition to documentary filmmaking, I also enjoy writing and have written several screenplays. I believe that writing and filmmaking go hand in hand and allow me to fully explore my creative vision. I have other written work such as a research article, “You Can’t Forget Our Roots Anyway” published in the Journal For Undergraduate Ethnography. I also have three articles published in Smithsonian’s Folklife Magazine, mostly related to the annual Mother Tongue Film Festival.
I am currently actively looking for work on documentary film projects as a researcher and writer!
