Edit for Magnum Photos on Surveillance
For the Magnum Photos, I produced and edited this video using existing visuals, photos and videos together with engaging text and quality music, providing a professional video output in smart and efficient ways, while respecting the branding of the organization.
Edit Activist Video for Edgelands Institute
This video presents the journey of Cameron Samuel, a young LGBT activist in Texas fighting for freedom of speech. This was a video made as part of the Edgelands Institute activities in the city of Houston, Texas, USA. I edited existing material into a mini-documentary style.
Documentary: The Artist’s Nature
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. Inspiration and creativity are seen at work where nature can be both the topic and the source for the Artist. The documentary is still in the making.
Encounter with a Native American
I interviewed Ruben, a Native American living in the United States of America. He shares words of wisdom and spiritual ritual practice.
Spatial & Conversational Documentary
This is the teaser of Enter the Mirrorworld, an interactive visual-audio experience in development. To kick-start this project, I got funded by the Pole de Création Numérique, as well as RTS – The Swiss Television. The experience allows participants to explore real locations and converse with clones of real people, becoming the investigators themselves.
Interactive Documentary Plastic Pollution
I am working in collaboration with Bord Cadre Productions and Peter Charaf, a Documentary Director & Explorer, on an interactive nonfiction experience about plastic pollution. For this innovative project, we leverage real-time conversational AI tech and algorithmic B-rolls to provide an educational experience.
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.
The ‘Favelas’ of North America
This is a video I produced in Mexico in order to explore the conditions of living in a high crime-rate neighborhood known locally as “La Independencia”. I shows as well the resilience and positive mindset of Enigma, a rapper from the neighborhood.
Cinéma Vérité Interview
In this innovative artistic format I tried to recreate a fly-on-the-wall effect with a short-reverse-shot editing while preserving the authenticity of the moment and the forgetting of the camera thanks to an innovative system I iterated on myself. The result is very poignant with an old man sharing about his struggles living between the French and Portuguese cultures.
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 Story
I am Swiss and French. Before working with film, I started out as a blue-collar worker. My path to university was long and uncertain, and it taught me that value is not defined by status, but by the ability to learn and stay open. This naturally led me to travel, not to explain the world, but to experience it through encounters. Today, I create digital films and experiences.
