My Writing and Directorial debut, CRUSH, was my first time crafting a narrative purely based on my own creative imaginings.

Amidst a world where rushes of passion manifest in explosive ways, Jimmy meets Amber on his first day of work which sparks an eruptive love story between them. Watch here!

When I wrote this, I was inspired by all those sweetly romantic novels I read in middle school and high school. By doing this, I also inadvertently pulled from my younger self’s emotions and put them into the two main characters: Jimmy and Amber.

Directing all the actors was a pleasure and through this collaboration we were able to bring my imaginative world to life.
