His exploratory journey transitioned into the streets of New York City, where he was armed with disposable cameras throughout high school years. Through these experiences, he unearthed a deep passion for seizing moments and intertwining them into stories. This dual love for both the stage and photography become the cornerstone of his career in filmmaking.
