Global Video Narratives
I offer international short docs on relevant topics, moving to areas as needed, and delivering under tight deadlines. I focus on the territories of North America and East Asia, conducting my work in multiple languages, including Spanish, English, and French. Digital-savvy, I also produce material in formats that are native to digital platforms.

This is a personal documentary I am still working on. It follows an Italian photographer’s artistic search and connections with nature and traditional ways of living.

Encounters in The Big Apple
This experimental format, in between a documentary and a vlog, focused on other people’s attempts to capture the soul of the most famous city in the world: New York City. Through the eyes of the local we can grasp the diversity and the human energy of the city.

This is the teaser of Enter the Mirrorworld, an interactive visual-audio experience in development.

Immersion in the Real Cuba
I made a highly viral video in the outskirts of Havana, Cuba, showcasing the reality of simple Cuban life. In the video, I spontaneously visit a local hairdresser, which throws the viewer into an immersive experience as if they were there. The video has been especially well-received by the Cuban community worldwide.

About
My Expertise
My expertise lies in documentary visual-audio stories, while being digital formats savvy. I have practical experience in video production, including handling high-stress situations, and I have launched multiple documentary YouTube channels. I speak French, English, and Spanish, and I currently focus on North America, including the border, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
My Story
I am Swiss & French, and before working as a documentarian, I started as a blue-collar worker. It took a long and difficult journey for me to reach university and graduate. Surpassing my own expectations, I realized that value is not measured by where you stand, but by your capacity to learn. This led me to travel extensively to keep learning about humanity through a career in documentaries.
