Logline

Two coders, betrayed by a ruthless boss who steals their groundbreaking app, must choose between fighting for their dreams or leaving behind the toxic world of Silicon Valley.

Artist Statement

I’m drawn to stories that live at the intersection of autonomy and exploitation, that tension between human creativity and the systems that seek to control it. My film work moves between documenting the raw, untamed beauty of the natural world and critically examining the corporate structures that undermine both personal and environmental freedom. Through a mix of narrative and documentary forms, I aim to highlight the cost of ambition, the struggle for independence, and the human spirit’s resistance to systems that seek to stifle it. Ultimately, I strive to create space for reflection, resistance, and deeper connection to the world around us.
