Passionate about people and their human ways, he loves the challenges of connecting with them and bringing feelings into the screen. Movies have the adrenaline of shooting and telling stories that drives him, from a run and gun guerrilla style doc. in the amazon jungle to a big TVC/feature crew shot with a 50 people casting. With a solid backgroud in theater and journalism he has been making films for over 20 years in a variety of budgets, countries and circumstances.
