about me
I am a Director, Producer, and Screenwriter based in Kimberley, British Columbia. Whether mountain culture documentaries or scripted narratives, my films aim to amplify unheard voices and nuanced perspectives.
I currently have three documentary films on the festival circuit. Wildflowers and Wild Aerial, which tell the stories of women trailblazers, premiered at the prestigious 2024 Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival. Ahon, the first by an all-Filipino cast and crew to break into the adventure film space, will premiere at the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival on February 26, 2025. My first feature screenplay, Dil Rakh: Gloves of Kin, is now availble on Tubi and Amazon.
My journey through diverse sectors of the film industry have allowed me to hone a unique skillset. After gaining valuable experience at Trisko Talent (Assistant), and Drive Films (Script Development Coordinator), I launched my career as a freelance writer/screenwriter, photographer, and social media specialist. My global clients include established film producers, photographers, tourism companies, and brands. As Director of Acquisitions and Programming, I launched ChimeTV, America’s first Asian American and Pacific Islander cable channel delivered in English. For supporting the network’s mission is to celebrate AAPI culture, amplify AAPI voices, and increase AAPI representation in the media, I received L.A. TV Week’s 40 Under 40 Award (2023).
I founded Figment Films in 2021 to produce documentary projects, branded content, and commercial work with powerful narratives.
