The experiences I’ve lived are a constant source of creation. Since I was very young, I’ve imagined and built worlds as a way to escape reality.

What would you do with $25,000?I would create a vertical story for a global audience, with music, drama, and a magical world, carrying a message that dreams can come true. It’s a low-budget project I can shoot with an iPhone and the talented actors from my school, where I would work as both actress and director. My vision is to develop a digital platform for vertical content that elevates emerging artists through music-driven storytelling.
