Project

During my stay at Faber, my primary focus will be on honing my editing skills. I've always been self-taught in this craft, driven by a passion to explore how editing can transform and redefine a narrative. Given my aspiration to direct movies, I've consistently taken the reins of editing my own projects. There's a profound sense of ownership and connection when I'm intimately involved in the editing process. At Faber, I aim to elevate my editing proficiency, embracing the opportunity to collaborate with a new team. Learning from the experiences and insights of my fellow team member is a crucial aspect of my agenda during this residency, contributing to both my technical skills and collaborative approach in filmmaking.
