    TAKING OFF

    Creative Playground

    My creative career truly kicks off by meeting L.A. based director Brent Bonacorso and teaming up with Collaboration Factory.
    Together we would create unforgettable spots and clips for Lexus, Pontiac, Infiniti, LG, Nike or Sony Music.

    At the same time I delve in the film world by working with David Dozoretz (ILM) on Previsualisation for Paramount Pictures.

    DREAM MAKER

    Shaping Stories

    2010 marks the release of Brent Bonacorso's West of The Moon, winner of the Carmel film festival.
    My role on this film was shaping the director's surreal visions by creating all sorts of environments and strange creatures.

    Then came The Narrow World. As a duo we managed to put together all the visual effects of this ambitious film.
    Designing, texturing, animating and compositing the gigantic alien creature was obviously the most challenging task.

    During the same time I continue to improve my skills creating sequences for MTV, The European Spacial Agency, Lakic Design, Bandaï Visuals, etc...

    MASTERING FILM POST PRODUCTION

    The Big Screen

    These years I was busy as a film Visual Effects Supervisor and Motion Graphic Designer for Samsa Film and Artemis:
    I held this critical role on Tel Aviv on Fire by Sameh Zoabi, winner of the Venice Film Festival and Escapa by Sarah Hirtt.
    Other works include Motion Graphics and retouching on the documentaries Histoires de Femmes and The Lamperstbierg for the CNA.

    In 2019, I was also delighted to contribute to Ridley Scott's mesmerizing The Seven World multiverse.
    For this interactive world I created gigantic metallic humanoids - reminiscent of the engineer in Prometeus.

    BECOMING A DIRECTOR

    Visions, Echoes and Resonances

    From 2019 to 2023, I was a guest Director/Film Maker for the MUDAM Contemporary Art Museum in Luxembourg.
    During this period, I directed, filmed and edited more than 30 documentaries and as many teasers and spots.
    I was in charge of presenting and archiving the artworks, installations, performances and events held in the museum.
    I met key figures of contemporary art: Anri Sala, William Kentridge, Tacita Dean, Etel Adnan and many others.

    This work allowed me to improve immensely my filming and audio recording skills.

    In 2020, I had the privilege to direct Luxemburg's introduction film for the 2020 WORLD EXPO in Dubai.
    It's a rare occasion to present to the world your own country, in its most unexpected aspects.

    I'm grateful to the LFT team for offering me this unique opportunity!
