As an aspiring writer and filmaker, creativity always came easily to me. The desire to write stories was always present and ideas are found everywhere. As a media student aiming at graduating in both filmaking and journalism, I was always atracted to what is aesthetically different.
With influences ranging from film noir and cult to criminal drama masterpieces such as The Godfather, as well as sometimes unusual filmaking figures, and a great interest in foreign and independent cinema and dystopian stories, crime mistery/suspense is by far my favorite genre in both film and writing, whether being fiction or non-fiction works.
My goal is to be able to work in both areas, whether writing sceenplays and working with these stories behind the camera, or writing novels and printing narratives. What interests me the most are the many different forms and tools of storytelling
The many different manners in which a story can be put together in film, as well as the different techniques and effects such as cinematography and misè-en-scene, shot angles, lenses, editing, use of sound and the way in which the juxtaposition of these choices affect a story and have the power to completely change meaning or convey different emotions are some of the reasons why filmaking fascinates me.
As a storyteller, however, all I need is the luxury of free time, and brainstorming already comes automatically.
