About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On-the-road food documentarist

ABOUT ME

I've lived in Shanghai and Beijing for the past 4 years working as a media producer, making travel documentaries and cooking reality shows. I'm now following my instinct to become the one who holds the camera, and point it towards the strangest most delicious traditional foods of rural India, China and wherever my travels will bring me.

I love cooking for large numbers of people, traveling to forsaken or chaotic overwhelming places, partying until the morning, but also staying in and doing nothing, meeting people, talking about food, films, music and nonsensical things.

PHILOSOPHY

the world is an illusion,
our surface is different but we are same at the core,
LOVE is the answer,
magic is real.

Interests
