Biography

My passion, as a filmmaker, started long ago when I was 12. I earned my first guitar and started playing even to this day. On the way, music became a strong influence in my everyday life. Everything around me i started to relate to music, symphany, harmony and many other types of genre. This is where my habit of sound mixing and recording started to shape my life. I am curently twenty years old.

My studies started at Murdoch University and i am one semester away from getting my degree in Bachelor of arts in Screen & sound Majoring in screen and sound and Minoring in Creative Writing.Throughout my experience in Murdoch, I have worked with Martin Mhando (Oscar nominated fro best foriegn Film)on a short documentary on African Animals in Perth Zoo. I was the sound operator onset. On October second untill October sixth, i have teamed up with Dr. Nissan Naraqi (Former CNN Producer of the Head branch in America)as a Camera man/Cinematographer and grip work for a massive five day conference.Then on my second year at Murdoch University, I worked as a camera man for ITRI (Interactive Television Research Institute)for a research on a kids program. This research project was asked specifically by my collegue to do. The request came from the producers of Sesame Street. It took a almost a week for us to finish the project.In addition, within my years in Murdoch I have worked in one documentary and one short film. However, i will be doing two 10 minute short films on my next semester, which i am sure it will be better than the ones i have worked on before. After all this, I am hoping to be a flexible person in my work. I have many experience with different softwares such as Final Cut Pro 4 (Editing), Nuendo 3 Steinberg (sound mixing and recording), Combustion 4 Auto Desk (Blue Screen and Match Moving) and Adobe Photoshop (Photography/Combustion Work)
