A love letter to cinema
Allow me to express the profound pride and boundless love I hold for the art of filmmaking & directing, which flows through the very essence of my being. It is not merely a hobby, degree, or profession but an inseparable part of my lineage. My family has embraced a deep passion for the arts from generation to generation, and I am humbled to carry that torch forward as a Director. Creating and shaping stories is an act of pure devotion, an unyielding commitment to bring narratives to life that resonate with the human spirit. My heart overflows with love for this magnificent profession, as it allows me to craft moments of beauty, evoke profound emotions, and inspire hearts to soar. With every frame, I celebrate the heritage that crosses my veins and honour the love that binds me to you.

Wrestling My Way ON Youtube
Wrestling has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, and that passion still burns within me to this day. In 2013, I embarked on a YouTube journey, hoping to find success, but it eluded me. However, everything changed in 2017 when I mustered the courage to speak about what captivated my heart the most, which was the sport of professional wrestling. Sharing my knowledge, and enthusiasm for the sport, I became a key influential figure in the wrestling world on YouTube, gaining over 200,000 subscribers and over 31,000,000 views.
Youtube ultimately inspired me to be behind the camera and direct films. Here is a glimpse of my Youtube journey.
