Filmmaker & Storyteller
I remember when I first went to the cinema with my father on a hot summer night in 2002. Star Wars Episode II was running in cinemas. Georgia was a post-Soviet country with problems of war, crime, and poverty. The main fun was playing outside, as the electricity was off, and it was a miracle to watch a movie till the end. Bedtime stories were a real treat, and I carefully listened to the tales that allowed me to travel in imaginative worlds. On that hot summer night, everything changed: I entered the cinema, and the new experiences unfolded in front of me.
Later, my connection with films grew. And in 2015, a life-changing moment occurred to me on the night session of Interstellar. I came up with the idea to transform myself from a diplomat student to a filmmaker. And I switched my academic focus to Audio-Visual Art. The transition was challenging, but the dedication was rewarding. I was involved in crafting projects and gradually gained self-confidence in creating visual art. Since then, I participated in various aspects of video production in search of my professional niche. I began as a volunteer film critic for the ex-online Georgian film journal Kimono and ended as a professional film and video editor living in London.
Today, my mission is to support creatives crafting visually compelling and emotionally resonant narratives that connect with audiences on a deeper level. I believe stories guide us through life's journey, helping us overcome fears and connect on a human level. And I strive to offer a unique cinematic experience in every project.
