Creating… and Living

I make films. I write. I build ideas.

My days move between scripts, shots, characters, and dreams. It’s a wild, creative life — and I love every second of it.

But here’s what most people don’t see:

I’m spiritual too.

Not in the “sit on a mountain” way.

In the simple, everyday way.

In the way I breathe before I create, 

pause before I decide,

listen before I speak,

and trust before I act.

There are two ways to exist... 

One is to breathe.

One is to live.

Creativity helps me breathe.

Spirituality helps me live.

One gives me expression.

The other gives me direction.

One fills my mind with ideas.

The other fills my heart with peace.

Together, they create a life that feels whole — a life where I can chase cinema with fire in my eyes and still return to myself with silence in my soul.

This balance… this beautiful mix of creation and consciousness… is the real joy.

And this is the journey I’m on — making films, telling stories, and staying deeply connected to the inner world that keeps me alive from the inside out.
