09:53- How do you strike a balance between historical authenticity and emotional depth?
- I do extensive research but stay open to contradictions and gaps in historical records.
- I use informed imagination to fill in the blanks, allowing emotional truth to guide the story.
- I let characters lead the narrative, balancing authenticity with a natural emotional flow.
17:53- How do you balance brutality and subtlety in your storytelling?
- I don’t glamorize or use violence for provocation — it serves a deeper emotional truth.
- Rage in storytelling reflects inner turmoil, not strength; true strength is calm and quiet.
- Violence emerges from suppressed emotions and is portrayed as part of a character’s journey, not just shock value.
