Five years. One question.

I studied Journalism. Spent most of college in the media lab cutting found footage, trying to understand why some images hold and others don't.

Since then: a Jury's Choice short, a Rome-premiered feature documentary, a Tata Steel Foundation commission, travel across cities that didn't ask to be filmed.

By day: OTT post at Deluxe Media, across Netflix, Warner Bros., Prime and Disney+. I've seen what it costs when production and platform never talk.

The formats change. The question doesn't.
