Summary

'Telling the Untold'—In word and film

As an empathic provocateur, I tell stories that hit hard and dwell deep. Exploring intense themes and taboo topics, my films meld raw emotion with fearless authenticity. I lead with compassion but never shy away from the edge. 'Say My Name', my debut film as co-writer and director, has won over 90 international awards.
