My Films
A glimpse into my animation journey.
A young boy searching for his football in the world’s worst zoo befriends a lonely tiger, and together they seek a safe place to play amid the dangers of war.
The surprise waiting for the clown doll when he discovers his unique hat is not on his head when he went out of the surprises box!
A child plays innocently with a toy weapon and grows older with it as the game slowly mirrors the violence shaping his world.
A window opens on a child who lives in a war torn area where he longs for his favorite sport football and a moment of normal childhood.

PROTOCOL (2027, Stop-Motion)
One small mistake transforms a journey into a silent struggle between human kindness and rigid rules, across an invisible border.
