I am deeply thankful and honored to have been accepted into the @americanfilminstitute Cinematography Class of 2028. 

It’s been a long, arduous journey of ups and downs. When I decided to pivot from journalism to film back in 2017, I didn’t know how scary this journey would be. I was overconfident, at the peak of the Dunning-Kruger effect. When I faced reality, when I found myself jobless for 6 months, I wondered if I’d made the wrong choice. But slowly but surely, I made friends, grew back my confidence bit by bit, and found myself doing what I’ve dreamed of doing since I was young. I was blessed to have parents who loved me and supported my overly ambitious dreams. I am forever in their debt.

I also met the love of my life. She’s stayed beside me throughout the whole journey. Positive, negative moments, we shared it all. She made me the cinematographer I am today. I will forever be her number one fan and be forever by her side.

Lastly, I’m thankful to every person who I had the pleasure of interacting and working with while on this journey. Filmmaking is a collaborative endeavor, and without the help and trust of these people, I would not have the career I have today. I love what I do, and you all made it happen.

To another big step in my journey,
