Each frame is carefully thought out and set up‚ resulting in a beautifully composed film.

As once said by a famous film directer named John Lee Hancock who said that directing a film whilst integrating your own personal touch is as if it is more of your signature than a mere piece of writing. “When you direct a film‚ that’s more of your signature than writing” John Lee Hancock.
