Some stories don’t exist until the camera starts rolling.
This one was built in silence, in movement, in moments that almost slipped away.
Every frame carries intention.
Every light, every shadow… placed with purpose.
But what you don’t see is the energy behind it.
The people who move in sync to bring a vision to life.
Because filmmaking isn’t just about what’s in front of the lens it’s about everything happening behind it.
This is a glimpse of that And Thomas vision and this great team

I’m grateful to all my friends that I made along the way on this creative journey. They all teach me something new everyday.
This short video was moments from the Island Escape trip with @archyfy@javiercollazoph@jay_pipalva_09@thatblankguyy@mnk009 .
A mix of frames from DJI Pocket 3 and @lumix S5IIX.
The goal of this trip is for me to get out after periods of working and not meeting a lot of friends to catch up and have fun also for me to test the @lumixusa S5IIX in the cold conditions and to see how the images will look like, im pretty please with it so far.
Hopefully I can put it to more testing environment soon and give you guys a review about it.
For now, hope you all enjoyed these frames.

BTS and some frames from one of the most chaotic projects that I work on.
I want to challenge myself with everything I have learned to produce and be a director on a very tight budget project. And this give me a lot more experience to understand more how I can do better to achieve what not only me but client wants.
Since the budget is tight, I’m very much appreciated everyone that decided to come out and help me on this one. Can’t create this without you guys.
But well with what I have accumulated lately, this year I would love to challenge myself more with different types of projects. Hopefully I can showcase it soon to you guys.
But for now, keep creating and getting better with your craft 🫡

Walking around on a cloudy day to test with the @lumix S5IIX combine with kit lens.
Have to say the price to value ratio is surprising me. Definitely any cameras in the last 5 years was great to create anything nowadays.
The color is pleasing me compared to my last Sony camera and I can definitely use a lot of straight out of camera footage for quick turnaround.
Have to do more test with this body.

Some BTS photos from the last shoot
It always good to have every set documented so later I can look back at these memories and mistakes that I made so I can be better in the future.
This is a stressful project since our budget is very low and we have short window of time to prepare everything and also a short hours to shoot, that’s why I feel it’s mostly impossible
But then the crew comes through and helps me to get what we want, I’m forever grateful for it.
I’m truly believe that your crew can either make or break your set and I’m lucky to have amazing people around me that help pulling me through the hard times.
Truly appreciate my friends who come to help and everyone on the crew

No Finish Line trailer and some behind the scenes of the upcoming mini documentary project that I have been working with @archyfy and @heradventurelife
With this project, we want to encourage ourselves and viewers to stay fit, be healthy and always chase their dreams no matter what.
This is my first try with narrative kind of projects to see how I can tell stories through my own experiences and perspectives.
That’s why I’m feeling grateful for everyone who helped me with this project.
- @archyfy for believing in my vision and help create these amazing frames.
- @deekshaneekhra for trusting us and sharing her stories and passion about running.
- @rahven.io@andrii.berezin_@javiercollazoph@thatblankguyy@vaskar_sam@shutter.shaik@shweta.skulkarni for supporting and amazing bts content for memories
I hope you all enjoy these frames with us.
Full documentary coming soon, stay tuned!

Some stills from my mini documentary project with @archyfy featuring @heradventurelife
Life is a marathon, and each time we reach our own finish line, we look up for another one to pursuit. That’s why to me and some others, we are in the endless race of life without the finish line.
Sometimes, I question myself whether I’m running towards something or it’s just me trying to run away from something and this documentary is one of the answers to that.
I’m very appreciate @deekshaneekhra for allowing us to capture and tell her story. Her dedication and passion to running has inspired people around her, and now it’s inspiring me as well.
I want to keep this project to the minimum resources that I have to see how can I create, and I’m grateful to have my friends to come out and help us.

And special thanks to @projectspaces & @holdthesaucefilms for supporting, and helping us sort out amazing location to film our first interview.
It’s COMING SOON, so stay tuned guys 🤙🏼

Looking back to when I first picked up the camera years ago out of the boredom from my work, I have been on a wild journey with the unknown future.
Still a kid with a dream that one day, he can create a film for everyone to watch and experience the universe that he created.
To others and friends around me, my growth is very fast since when I started as a hobbyist photographer to now I’m working as a director, and doing other film related works.
But to me it’s a lot of up and down, also the time where I spend shooting outside and for free no matter the conditions of weather or my body just to practice and learn about the craft is enormous, and I still doing it today even moving forward.
A long the way, I’m lucky enough to meet a lot of great and talented people that teach, show, support and help me on this journey, I can’t thanks them enough for what they did.
“You’ll only live in regret if you’re too scared to try what you truly want to do”
That’s what I learned and experience right now. So to any one of you that follows me so far on this journey, I appreciate you a lot.
I hope you will take all the courage to do things you want and not living in regret, also don’t forget to document your own journey. Will be fun to look back one day in the future you know.
Well, that’s a rant for today, gotta get back to work.
Also I have a short documentary project along with different projects that I can’t wait to share with you all soon. But for now, stay tuned 🤙🏼
