Please tell us what inspired you to enter into the world of films?
I always was a visual person, and I felt like the vision I had would entertain people simultaneously. My interest in filmmaking began when I started working on my DVD series called ” Welcome to that block.” The production was raw and gritty for the viewers at the time.
Filmmaking is a laborious job, so what keeps you motivated?
I would say the thrive and the reactions of the people who are about to view what I created.

You have to have lots of patience. Not everything goes right at various times.

Editing can make or break a movie. So editing is essential. That is part of the filmmaking process. Editing is 80% of the film. Well, at least to me, it is.

For me, it’s the desire for everyone to see you’re working. So that’s, the driving force with it comes to me.
