Filmmaker Statement

The inspiration for this film was sparked by Johnny Cash’s the Rambler. I decided to self-fund the project, aiming to create a work that encapsulates everything I value in cinema and draws from my inspirations. In my view, ‘English Rose’ embodies all of these elements: it's meant to evoke deep emotions, awkward laughter, and leave the audience in shock. The film blurs the boundaries between good and bad, making the audience root for both sides. I was very fortunate to work with exceptional crew and actors, whose dedication and energy made this vision a reality. The goal of this short was to showcase my unique style, and to secure funding for the feature of English Rose.
