William is a New York-based filmmaker who enjoys Taika Waititi on a Tuesday and cries over Wong Kar Wai on a Sunday. His affinity for storytelling is rooted in honest conversations, subtle yet powerful moments, and an insatiable desire for laughter.
When he’s not directing or crumpling up scripts, William is a dancer and a creative technologist. He co-founded PAVILLIA, a creative agency, to produce immersive experiences, including solutions for HBO, ADOBE, and CANNES FILM FESTIVAL XR.
