I try to pour myself into every subject, striving to understand it from its core. This profound emotional depth traces back to my younger years, when I witnessed my mother’s battles with mental health and grappled with depression myself. My daily struggle with anxiety has become a driving force in my filmmaking, evident in every frame. One of my most poignant collaborations was with global supermodel Anja Rubik, a passionate advocate for her charity foundation, SEXED. Together, we created a powerful campaign emphasizing the importance of vigilance in social settings and advocating for bystander intervention. My vision transformed this message into an almost surreal, horror-like depiction, seamlessly shifting between two realities. I immerse myself in psychology, dedicating time to understanding trauma so I can portray it authentically on screen.
