Actor/Filmmaker

"What inspires me in both filmmaking and acting is the feeling I get when I gaze upon the night sky. Witnessing the constellations tracing their timeless dance across the infinite canvas of space evokes a sense of eternity. It's like reading a divine manuscript written in starlight, a testament to the universe's enduring beauty and profound mystery. This spectacle, this silent epic, speaks to the core of my being, reminding me of the vastness of time and the enduring power of cosmic wonder. "
