Documentaries, interviews and portraits.
I film people who have spent years on one idea, one discipline, one institution.
Scholars, founders, designers, voices from universities and international programmes. People who have something concrete to say.
I move between documentary, interview and short-form storytelling, handling direction, photography and editing. Projects are born inside summits, foundations and international programmes. The form changes, the approach doesn't.
I work where the press release compresses too much and the keynote runs too short.

Contexts
I work where access, time, and the discipline not to oversimplify all count.
Research centres, summits, foundations, independent brands.
03 · Method
Preparation is worth as much as the shoot.
Every interview starts from a conversation without a camera. I try to understand how the subject thinks before setting it in a frame. Without this step, the documentary stays a sum of questions and answers. With this step, it starts becoming a portrait.
Filming is the most visible part of the process, but not the longest. The setup adapts to the context, never the other way around. Between preparation, direction and post-production, more time passes than on set. The camera records. It does not interview.
A forty-minute interview becomes an eight-minute film, and choosing which thirty-two minutes to cut in editing is the most important decision. It is an editorial choice: what of a person is worth returning, and what is not. The way of looking decides.
