Short Films

Salt & Pepper (2025) 
A frustrated artist, paralyzed by self-doubt, encounters a mysterious muse who takes him on a surreal journey through his imagination. As he revisits forgotten ideas and confronts his fear of failure, he learns to embrace imperfection and rediscover his creative spark.

As my short film is currently in its festival circuit, I’m unable to share it publicly at this time.

However, I’d be glad to provide a private screening link if needed.

Explorations

Yourself (2020) 
Short film, created during my undergraduate studies amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yourself is an animated short that reflects on how we see ourselves. Created during a time of isolation and introspection,

It explores the metaphorical masks we wear to fit in, stand out, or hide—masks that, over time, may become indistinguishable from our true selves.
