I’M A PHOTOGRAPHER/VIDEOGRAPHER FROM HAWAII, BUT I CURRENTLY LIVE IN NYC. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN CAMERAS EVER SINCE I WAS A KID. I GOT MY FIRST CAMERA IN 8TH GRADE, AND I’VE ALWAYS MADE CREATIVE PROJECTS TO KEEP MYSELF BUSY. I STARTED SHOOTING FILM IN 2018, BUT ONCE I MOVED TO NEW YORK FOR COLLEGE, I BEGAN TO SHOOT AT MORE EVENTS (SHOUTOUT KODONE AND CAVE FOR GIVING ME A SHOT). ALSO, IN ORDER TO PURSUE MY PASSION OF CREATING A CONCEPT STORE, I STARTED A BRAND CALLED REVIVAL THAT ALLOWED ME TO IMPROVE MY UNDERSTANDING OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT/ENTREPRENEURSHIP AS WELL AS DISCOVER NEW WAYS TO EXPLORE ADVERTISING BY USING MY SKILLS IN VIDEOGRAPHY AND PHOTOGRAPHY. ONE DAY, I HOPE TO CREATE A CHARITY PROGRAM THROUGH MY STORE TO HELP CHILDREN FIND AND PURSUE THEIR ARTISTIC VENTURES.
AS I DEVELOPED MY PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY SKILLS, I STARTED TO GRAVITATE MORE TOWARD FILMMAKING IN 2020. I WAS ABLE TO WORK ON SET AS AN ART DIRECTOR AND SET PHOTOGRAPHER FOR A STUDENT FILM TITLED
WHICH WAS RECOGNIZED BY MULTIPLE FILM FESTIVALS. THE FILM IS BEING FEATURED AT THE FESTIVAL AT CANNES IN NICE, FRANCE IN THE SUMMER OF 2022. IN 2021, I SHIFTED MY FOCUS TO CREATING SHORT FILMS AND WAS ABLE TO DIRECT TWO SHORTS, AND IN 2022, I AM CURRENTLY PLANNING ON IMPROVING MY SCRIPT WRITING BY POLISHING THE WORKS THAT ARE STILL IN PROGRESS. THIS YEAR, I AM FOCUSING ON MY LOVE FOR MUSIC BY IMPROVING MY DJ SKILLS BY RELEASING MULTIPLE MIXTAPES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TITLED
