Documentary Filmmaker
I make socially relevant films, explorations of reality, and festival documentary cinema. I also create science-pop programmes and commercial social video content — as director, producer, and author.
With a background in journalism and ten years in TV production, I bring quick learning and deep engagement to every project. A second degree in documentary film directing shaped my focus on real-life narratives.
