What do you feel when you're acting/directing/writing?
When I'm directing, I feel a deep sense of responsibility and excitement as I guide the creative vision and collaborate with my team to bring the story to life.
You can go to the movies with an actor/director/screenwriter that you love. What kind of movie do you choose, and with whom are you gonna watch it?
If I had the chance to go to the movies with an actor, director, or screenwriter that I love. I would love to watch “Django” with Quentin Tarantino, as his films consistently challenge conventions. The experience of watching a mind-bending and visually captivating film with someone who shares a passion for pushing the limits of cinema would be truly extraordinary.
Audrey Hepburn used to say, "Nothing is Impossible." What do you think about it?
I wholeheartedly agree with Audrey Hepburn's statement. In the realm of creativity and filmmaking, nothing should be seen as impossible. It is through embracing the unknown, taking risks, and pushing
boundaries that we create groundbreaking works of art. The film industry is constantly evolving, and by believing in the impossible, we open ourselves up to endless possibilities.
Can you live just off your passion?
Living solely off my passion for filmmaking is both a blessing and a challenge. The film industry can be unpredictable, and there are times when financial stability may be a challenge. However, my passion for
storytelling and the love I have for my craft keep me going, and I am grateful every day that I get to do what I love as a fulltime job.
What's more important, talent or luck?
Both talent and luck play a role in the success of a filmmaker. Talent is the foundation, the raw ability to create, and to connect with audiences on an emotional level. Luck, on the other hand, can open doors,
present opportunities, and introduce us to the right people at the right time. However, talent alone is not enough, and luck alone is not sustainable. It is the combination of talent, hard work, and seizing
opportunities that ultimately leads to success.
You must go to a desert island, but you can bring with you just one movie...
If I could only bring one movie with me to a desert island, it would be "The Shawshank Redemption." This film is a masterpiece of storytelling, with its powerful themes of hope, resilience, and the
indomitable human spirit. It serves as a reminder of the power of cinema to inspire and uplift, and it would provide me with solace and inspiration in the solitude of the desert island.
Have you ever accepted a part/a movie to direct/a script to write even if you didn't like the project?
As a filmmaker, I believe in the importance of selecting projects that resonate with me and align with my artistic vision. While there may be instances where compromises need to be made, I strive to work on
projects that I genuinely believe in and feel passionate about. It is crucial for me to connect with the story and the characters in order to bring my best creative self to the project. That being said, I am
always open to exploring new genres and pushing my artistic boundaries, as long as the core essence of the project resonates with me.
What's the best compliment you have received about your job?
One of the best compliments I have received about my work is when someone tells me that my film touched them deeply and made them reflect on their own lives. To know that my storytelling has the
power to evoke emotions and provoke introspection in the audience is incredibly rewarding. It reaffirms my belief in the transformative power of cinema and motivates me to continue creating meaningful
stories.
