Over the years, my work has been honored at film festivals, industry showcases, and educational institutions around the world — from New York to Los Angeles, to Tokyo, to Berlin, to Rome.
But I’ve never made films for the accolades. I make them to move people. To ask questions. To leave something behind that matters.
Still, I’m deeply humbled by the recognition.
With over 150 international awards across categories like directing, writing, cinematography, editing, and production, each win is a reflection of the teams I’ve worked with, the students I’ve mentored, and the stories that demanded to be told.
These honors aren’t just a measure of success — they’re a reminder that discipline, vision, and authenticity still resonate.
