02 · On directing
Close to the actors.
Attentive to the frame.
I work from the emotional life of a scene: what a character wants, what remains unsaid, and how movement, image and rhythm reveal it.
Preparation gives us a shared direction. Trust gives us room to discover something we couldn’t have planned.
03 · Working together
Your material.
A shared vision.
Available to direct existing scripts and commissioned concepts, as well as original writer-director projects.
I collaborate with producers, writers, artists, production companies, agencies and brands, finding a visual and performative language that serves the material.
