Pegasus was my first step behind the camera, and a chance to channel years of design experience into live action storytelling. While most of my work lives in After Effects, I wanted to challenge myself to create something cinematic from the ground up. After picking up a Sony a6300 and some gear from B&H, I dove headfirst into directing. My goal was to craft a short film that felt eerie, mysterious, and visually cool, something that could live in the space between dream and tension. As a hands-on director, I handled everything from concept and shot design to pacing and tone. The result? Pegasus was awarded Best Experimental at the Los Angeles Cinema Festival of Hollywood (2018) and became an Official Selection at The Block Film Festival (2019). A deeply personal project and a major turning point in how I approach storytelling.
