ESCAPE WITH ME
Together we will escape the ordinary and pursue our dreams on the City of Stars.
A fashion film that captures the essence of young love, dreams and sunsets in Los Angeles
YOUNG LOVERS
In our newest creative collaboration with the dynamic City Of fashion brand, we explore the exhilarating pulse of the city through the eyes of two young lovers.
This short fashion film is a kinetic journey, capturing the electric energy of their daring escape against a backdrop of concrete and neon.
The "HOLLYWOOD LOOK"
Shot with a raw, high-grain aesthetic on an anamorphic lens, the film emphasizes motion and light. Every frame is saturated with the urgent desire for freedom, showing our protagonists navigating narrow alleys and wide avenues, their style mirroring their rebellious spirit. "City Of" apparel anchors the visuals, with the brand's graphic statements reading as part of the visual language of the streets.
The central logo element, highlighted in the visual, functions as a signal of belonging to this movement of liberation. This film is more than a commercial; it is a cinematic portrait of youthful impulse, a visual poem about finding connection in the heart of the city’s vastness.
I arrived in Los Angeles with nothing but the relentless, singular ambition to become a director—the kind of dreamer this city has both welcomed and weathered for a century.
There is a specific, almost sacred grit to the hustle here, but everything changes the moment the sun begins to dip toward the Pacific. The light in LA isn't just a weather condition; it’s a cinematic force. When that golden hour hits, everything comes alive. The sun starts turning the concrete of the 101 into a river of amber and casting long, noir-inspired shadows across the palm-lined boulevards, I don’t just see a city—I see a frame.
That legendary, hazy glow acts as a natural filter for my imagination, a constant reminder that here, the line between reality and the silver screen is paper-thin. Every flickering neon sign and every streak of purple in the twilight sky feels like a prompt, urging me to pick up the camera and capture the soul of a place that was built on the very dreams I’m now chasing.
"I’m in love with the light in this city."

Speed vs. Inspiration
I thrive under constrains, and I think that we can be super creative when we have limitations. Our minds can find inspiration under the urgency to create. I never want to miss a moment.
That’s the spirit of our city.
