Services

01
Concept Development and Research
As a documentary filmmaker, I develop well-founded treatments and conduct extensive research. This involves gaining a deep understanding of the subject by detailed analysis, gathering relevant information, and consulting with experts. Often, I take it a step further by conducting on-site research and directly engaging with the people central to the story. This intensive approach allows me to gain unique perspectives and create documentaries that leave a lasting impression.
02
Cinematography
I love translating a written treatment into emotional, visually compelling cinematic worlds. With advanced camera techniques and creative approaches, I create films that not only impress aesthetically but also take viewers on a captivating journey.
03
Reporting and Foreign Coverage
My greatest passion lies in storytelling through documentaries and reports on international issues and events. As an experienced cameraman and foreign correspondent, I am experienced both, behind and in front of the camera, constantly seeking fascinating people and compelling stories. I always prioritize the situations and living conditions of the people on the ground. Thanks to my completed HEFAT crisis training, I am also prepared for the challenges and dangers in crisis areas.
04
On-Camera Storytelling
As an on-camera storyteller, I don't just capture stories - I live them. Standing at the intersection of filmmaker and protagonist, I bring a unique, immersive perspective to every project. My role extends beyond narrating the story; I become part of it, engaging directly with the environment, people, and culture at the heart of the narrative. Whether trekking through remote landscapes or navigating complex social issues, I embody the journey, creating authentic and relatable experiences for the audience. My deep involvement allows me to convey stories with an emotional resonance that connects viewers on a personal level.
05
Editing and Post-Production
As a filmmaker, I am intimately familiar with every detail of the raw material and have developed an intuitive sense of drama and storytelling over the years. Therefore, in most cases, I not only direct and shoot a project but also handle the editing. This holistic approach ensures that the creative vision is preserved from beginning to end.
