I have been producing, directing, filming and editing video content - documentaries, fiction and adverts - for over fifteen years. My work includes content production for major publications, national and international news organisations, governmental and non-governmental agencies, as well as for film and music festivals and world-leading brands.
While I am currently working at UNICEF, creating, directing and editing partnership content, other work previous to UNICEF includes filming and directing a long form documentary examining corruption cases in the Swiss oil trading Industry, which was screened primetime on Switzerland’s national broadcaster’s flagship station (Radio Television Switzerland - RTS1) in their weekly documentary strand ‘Les docs sur la une’. I also recently had produced and directing a long-form documentary film on ‘Confronting Militarised Masculinities’ for the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), the world’s oldest feminist peace organisation.
My work principally has two branches which I have cultivated. One is to create aesthetic visuals and engaging content which is accessible and appealing to wide audiences, or to niche audiences who can effect change. The other has been to dedicate myself to working on projects which advocate humanitarian values.
As my skills encompass both the technical and editorial, I am a self-shooting producer/director/editor capable of conducting journalistic in-depth interviews while filming on my own, as much as I am also able to direct teams of filmmakers and other journalists. I work along the whole chain of audiovisual production, from the preconception and formulation of the initial direction of a project, through to the writing of treatments, scriptwriting, script breakdowns and storyboarding, to the actual production, including lighting, camera operating and audio recording, through to interviewing, editing, and sound & picture grading.
