About Me

Filmmaker. Storyteller. 

I'm Michelle, a filmmaker and visual narrator with a passion for exploring the psychological and emotional depths of the human experience. Having grown up being documented and recorded, I believe that film can be the best way to express silent emotions and oneself. I love my life experiences and prefer to express myself by transforming them into films.

I am currently pursuing a degree in film directing at cca, and have a solid foundation in directing, cinematography, and screenwriting, as well as having worked on many film productions to familiarize myself with all aspects of the process. My previous works include short films and experimental projects that delve into the complex psychology of characters through visual narratives, minimalist dialogues and immersive sound design. Influenced by filmmakers such as Bi Gan and Wong Kar Wai, they aim to create narratives that focus on mood and atmosphere, allowing the audience to feel rather than simply observe.

My graduation project, Wisdom Teeth, is a very emotional work that explores the intersection of physical and emotional pain through a young woman's journey of self-destruction and rebirth. Inspired by my own real-life experiences and struggles, the movie blends naturalistic moments with surrealistic imagery to create an intimate and haunting meditation on grief.

In addition to filmmaking, I have experience in several aspects of production, including producing, editing and photography. I have worked on a variety of independent projects and student films in different roles, further honing my ability to collaborate and adapt within a creative team.

With Wisdom Teeth, I hope to continue to develop a unique directorial style - capturing the raw and often conflicting emotions that define the human experience. I aspire to expand my storytelling style to include feature-length projects and experimental visual narratives, always seeking new ways to push the boundaries of cinematic expression.
