DOCS + SERIES + SHORT FILMS

I was a naturally curious kid who became fixated with filmmaking in college. Over the years the focus of my YouTube channel has changed from faceless tutorials to fully presenter-led documentaries/ video essays. I now investigate reality through the lens of technology, psychology and mythology, sharing my findings with those who care to ask similar questions.

Tutorials + courses

I have created a number of filmmaking and design-based tutorials, covering software like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, FL Studios, and Stable Diffusion. As well as producing an in-depth animation course on Udemy.
