Filmmaking 2023
I am a passionate filmmaker with several years' experience, especially in the camera and editing department. My main inspirations come from contemporary cinematographers such as Rina Yang and James Laxton, which influence my distinct visual style. I have a keen eye for detail and innovative ideas when it comes to low-budget filmmaking. This allows me to curate professional-looking shots using minimal and inexpensive equipment. I have been the cinematographer on several short film projects, including "Night In The Newsroom" which won the RS Film Fest's Best Student Film Award and was selected for the Paus Premieres festival. I aim to continue expanding my knowledge of the camera department and build a network of people in the filmmaking industry.
