He is currently in his third year in the MFA Film program at Columbia University in New York. In his films, sex, politics, and religion are inseparable foundational elements. His work explores the deformities of characters’ inner thoughts being trapped by their social identities, and focuses on characters who struggle to express themselves in a reasonable state.
