About Me
My Filmmaking Journey
In 2016, while pursuing my BA in English, I ventured into filmmaking by creating short films. My debut film, ANU, garnered multiple awards and was showcased at film festivals worldwide, including in Italy, the USA, India, Brazil, and the UK.
As I continued to grow in the world of filmmaking, I expanded my roles beyond just scriptwriting. I took on responsibilities as a cinematographer, editor, and sound designer, honing my craft with each project.
My Journey as a Freelancer
Scriptwriter
Scriptwriting has been a part of me since I penned my first script at the age of 12. However, it wasn’t until a few years ago that I began exploring its monetization when I landed my first job at WowMakers, writing scripts for explainer videos. Writing for animation was a new challenge, but I quickly adapted, learning and improving significantly. The experience has shaped me into a more skilled scriptwriter and screenwriter.

Filmmaker &
Content Creator
Since creating my first short film in 2016, I’ve produced six additional short films and documentaries, each project helping me refine my craft as a filmmaker and content creator. Along the way, I’ve learned various aspects of filmmaking, including video editing, cinematography, and sound design, enabling me to become more independent in the creative process.
I also ventured into creating social media reels for brands, handling both shooting and editing. These videos garnered thousands of views, effectively benefiting the brands. Recently, I wrote, directed, and edited a theatre advertisement for Avianca Institute of Aviation Studies, receiving positive feedback from the clients.
Additionally, I worked as an associate film director on the telefilm Sakhavu Orkkunnundo. My passion for filmmaking is fueled by Alfred Hitchcock, whose work and persona continue to inspire me.
Video Editing
My journey into video editing began by necessity when I couldn’t afford to hire an editor for my first short film. Using a low-spec laptop borrowed from a relative, I taught myself Adobe Premiere Pro. Since then, I’ve edited all my videos and have also worked on projects for others. My editing skills, particularly in enhancing narration, have often been praised.
As a freelancer, my editing work has primarily focused on corporate needs, such as courses and podcasts, with numerous completed projects. I’ve recently transitioned to using Davinci Resolve Studio.
Subtitle Artist
I started freelancing as a side hustle during my university days on Fiverr, initially working as a subtitle artist. Over time, I’ve created subtitles for over 200 videos, including films, YouTube vlogs, tutorials, online courses, and training materials. (Check out my Fiverr Profile)
Other Freelance
Projects
I’m versatile when it comes to applying my skills, and my attention to detail has led me to gigs such as podcast quality analyst, proofreader, and content editor. Beyond these roles, I’ve written blogs, translated, and transcribed documents and videos. I’m always eager to expand my skill set and take on new challenges.
