“Comfort the Disturbed, Disturb the Comfortable”
This drive informed my approach to storytelling as a journalist. Now it guides me as a filmmaker and editor. My love for the artform and the pioneers who pushed its boundaries through the years shapes my workflow. I seek to evolve the documentary medium to tell subversive stories of empowerment, innovation and healing.
