WORK

I work as an independent author, director and cinematographer. 

During the last years I have written and directed several short films and documentaries. In my work, I explore the connection between humans and our planet. I have shot films in the breathtaking nature of Madagascar, the thin air of the mountains of Peru, on top of trees in Marocco, the empty landscapes of Iceland and under the shady canopies of the Amazon rainforest. I love creating formats, developing concepts and finding new ways to tell stories that matter to me. Searching for a unique perspective and following the golden thread of the story that lifts a film to new hights, even if it leads to an unpleasent answer, is what I do.

I create documentaries from start to finish about topics I strongly believe in.
