Filmmaking redefines itself for me on every production. Flexibility and the ability to adapt to new circumstances and working conditions are important components for filming that works. You are forced to deal with new subject matter and people, which is something I really enjoy. I am interested in learning a variety of ways of working and growing from challenges. From a young age, I have been very enthusiastic about trying to change the world around me through texts, drawings, photos and eventually films. That first set visit left a deep impression on me. I find the opportunity to create a creative output under unusual working conditions in places previously unknown to me and in community very rewarding. I continue to enjoy working as part of a team that creatively and prudently strives in the same direction.
