Hello! I'm an awarded filmmaker with +10 years of experience in the film industry, creative documentary, and advertising. I have important experience as director of photography, documentary filmmaker, and film director. My passion for traveling and my career has taken me to study, live and work in different countries in Latin America and Europe, which allowed me to learn from different cultures, languages, and methods of creating stories, therefore I became a creative filmmaker able to adapt to diverse situations and stories, skilled in teamworking, image design, and storytelling. My most recent work experience involved creating a micro-documentary channel for the digital platform so.fa.dog, where I researched, produced, directed, and filmed several documentaries with a unique and in-depth look at global issues through human stories.

As I child, I couldn't do otherwise than live my life like a movie, create my own world. Now, I got the ability to translate my feelings through motion picture. I love every project I work on, light is such a beautiful thing to contemplate and to work with, it creates the right atmosphere for the right content. I am lucky enough to live my passion. I always want to aim higher, to take risks to get the right picture. I have been following my dream since 2011, butI started my own company in 2015. My experience is wild, as my clients. Porsche, IKEA, NESTLE, Moet & Chandon, these are a few examples of many of my cliens. I own a lot of gear, professional stuff, from the camera to the cinema lens, from the stand to the HMI light.

A great passion for strong images and news! When I was a child I loved nothing more than abusing (his words) my fathers camera. It became my job: Since 2004 I work as cameraman, editor, photographer and documentary filmmaker. After studying sociology and journalism and one year 'learning the job' at a regional broadcaster I worked as shoot/editor for Headline, a company that provides technical support to international newsbroadcasters such as BBC-World, Euronews, SVT, NRK, RTE, ARTE, Slovak TV, YLE,.... Since 2007 I started working as a freelancer: filming and editing (ENG and EFP) combined with making my own reports and documentaries as a (video)journalist. In 2014 I started my own production company named Point of View. I work with all professional camera's and editing software and have my own equipment. Besides the technical skills I have a great passion for filming, photography and documentaries. Showreel: https://www.vimeo.com/PointofViewBelgium

My job: journalist/camerman/editor. But you might want to cut it short to visual storyteller. Together with my partner we form "NuNam". We shape stories into film, photography, installations and interactives. We are passionate about our job. We see ourselves as chroniclers of a generation, an era in time so challenging yet so full of opportunities. We tell the great events, tendencies and feelings of these times by gripping in-depth stories. As personal as can be. We strive to inspire our viewer. Challenge them. Entertain them. In our travels we worked for major television stations, brands and ngo’s. Our personal highlights? A short-doc on how a young Palestinian fights for his dream to run a marathon outside of Gaza. Or the story of the great fire in Valparaiso, Chile where 12000 people lost their houses. You hear the flames rushing through the streets. You smell the aftermatch of tragedy. You feel the power of hope, human strength and family.
