About Me


I shoot and direct FILMS on a strong cinematic mood, always looking to attract a wider audience to get into my works.
I've got special interests in social and cultural subjects like music, sports...
I make no dictinction between fiction movies, documentaries or music videos. In each case you tell a story and you try to be honest with yourself and the people you're filming.
I would describe myself as a : travel addict, proud single father, real scorpio,and a shadow cameraman..i'm there but you won't see me!
