Kokice

As a producer, leadership revealed itself through empathy and creative diplomacy. Kokice was a project built across three languages and cultures, demanding patience, clarity, and trust. It strengthened my ability to unite people around one vision while protecting the artistic core of the film, and expanded my understanding of international production, coordination, and negotiation under constant logistical pressure.

At thirteen, this first project became an accidental entry into cinema through curiosity, when the question “what happens if” outweighed any lack of knowledge. That curiosity opened a first conscious sense of freedom through creating, as responsibility arrived without adult supervision and boundaries had to be defended by proving the impulse was not a teenage whim, but a need to make something real. The process also revealed a world where the idea can outweigh the individual, and where people invest themselves in a shared act of making. Curiosity has remained the engine ever since, leading me toward something new.
