My interest within film began with the appreciation and love for storytelling. From an early age, I was drawn to writing and creating stories, developing my own characters and imagining new worlds which explores emotions that felt difficult to express in everyday life. However, I began to feel limited by the page alone after being so heavily inspired and immersed by my favourite films on the big screen. This led me to aspire to create my own visual work that could evoke the same sense of inspiration and emotional connection that I had experienced. 

Directors such as Damien Chazelle, Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch have played a significant role in influencing my love for visual storytelling. For example, I find Lynch's work particularly inspiring due to how he challenges the conventional narrative structures and his films often blur the boundaries between reality and illusion, I believe this resonates in my own own work.
