Post Production

From color grading to splicing scenes to overlaying film with sounds, post-production editing is where the magic begins.

Square1Films

I created Square1Films, born out of a love for movies. At an early age, theaters were my happy place because films spoke to my imagination. I would unravel the complexities of time-space dimension in Interstellar while marveling at Thanos obliterating the world with one snap of his fingers. What started as movie dissections and reviews on Letterboxd evolved into something greater: hours spent writing, collaborating, filming, and editing to create films that reflect the questions and ideas I care about most.
