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