I’m a cinema-based writer + director + editor.
My lab creates polymorphic narrative experiences to carry visual storytelling into the future, with and without the big screen.
Across continents and mediums, our decentralized collaborators drop dynamic fragments that grow organically into full-scale spectacles.
We build worlds for voices with something to amplify, and refuel talent unappreciated by limits of conventional industries.
If this sounds like your campfire, let’s spark something together — hey@velada.vision
