Director, Writer and Producer at AFIN

Biography

The experiences I gained by growing up in a war taught me invaluable communicational and problem solving skills. While studying Accounting at the University of Tulsa, I took writing classes taught by the Nobel-prize nominated poet, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, who further opened my eyes to creative possibilities. When I set out to make Maze of Fate, instead of going the traditional filmmaking route, I decided to become a cab driver. This profession exposed me to a never before seen Los Angeles and it introduced me to a variety of characters. I met gang members and ex-gang members turned actors who went out of their way to help me make this film happen. Maze of Fate was made possible thanks to the life risking events and to the generous people who responded to a curious and unyielding heart.
