Passionate. Creative. Hard working. Reliable I consider myself a storyteller. I have always beens art oriented and creative. I've been lucky enough to work in various ways in performing arts (music-dance) and visual arts (illustration, design, video) along my life. I do believe my extensive and eclectic background enriches every project I take on. Ultimately, I believe I am fascinated by communication, emotions and the quest of beauty. I am mainly a director, editor and post producer. I can also develop ideas, scripts, storyboards and put my great team together to shoot whatever is needed! Love to catch projects from scratch and work side by side with the customer so I can offer my creative input after understanding exactly what they want and need. Also love to get somebody else's footage and embellish it. Anyways, love my job.
