Costume designer - Art director - Production designer 

Film is not only an art but a science, a moving feast, millions of beautiful photographs set in motion, dancing to music, to carefully chosen language, costumes and wardrobe; a compendium of textures, props and color schemes that compose an entirely crafted or curated mini-universe, in which wonderful actors breathe life onto the written word. All this is beautifully exposed by transporting and highly technical lighting, captured by the great and meticulous eye and skill of the cinematographer, and threaded as a story by the editor, all happening according to the eagle-eye vision of the director. Good films are visual symphonies on the screen and masterfully tuned human ensembles behind the scenes. Helping conceive and construct the architecture of a film is a profound privilege. An architect requires a builder and vice-versa, I consider myself a builder who is often asked to play architect along with many other wonderful crafters.

Writer - Director

Directing and writing a movie is a dance between imagination and reality; it's the ultimate journey of storytelling, transforming words into a visual tapestry. This art form requires an intricate balance of creativity, technical skills, leadership, and empathy, to breathe life into characters and narratives. It's about capturing human emotions and experiences, and crafting them into a compelling and immersive cinematic experience. Mastering this craft demands a deep understanding of storytelling principles, visual aesthetics, and the magic of collaboration. In essence, directing and writing is the art of bringing dreams to the silver screen.
