Through cinema, he yearned to challenge and explore different perspectives that complicated that condition. At 22 he got stabbed in the jugular-and blinked temporarily out of existence. When he woke, the lens in which he viewed the world had shifted. He left the comfort of his corporate job behind in pursuit of honing his artistry.
