High school student living life through motion pictures and vintage music, aspiring to become a film critic and producer. I’m currently writing for Dissection & Reflection and looking forward to going to uni and studying Film. I wish I could use a time machine and visit a reality in which I have not seen “Dark” and “Interstellar” yet, so I could experience all the emotional turns and witness the mind-blowing plot twists once again. My favourite directors are Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson, because their features are quite polar opposites.

I didn’t see the light until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding! Okay, I kid, but, really, I’m just another movie fanatic who feels more at home in the dark, with the projector rolling. Now, I get to write reviews about my time in the dark and the light on the screen.
