The Philosophy: Finding the Sacred in the Profane
My approach to documentary filmmaking is rooted in the belief that truth is rarely found in the pristine or the rehearsed. I seek the "gritty realism"—the sweat, the dust, and the industrial rust that tell the real story of a place or a journey. Influenced by the narrative depth of travel chronicles and Mediterranean noir, I specialize in capturing the friction between human ambition and the raw power of the landscape.
"I don't just film a road; I film the way the road changes the man traveling it."
The Expertise: Beyond the Surface
For me, a documentary is an emotional architecture. Whether it’s a 1000-mile vintage motorcycle rally or a deep-dive into local traditions, I focus on:
Character-Driven Narratives: I don’t just interview subjects; I capture their transformation. I look for the "emotional rollercoaster"—the shift from the initial ego to the final, raw catharsis.
Aesthetic Contrast: My signature style balances high-end, meticulously lit formal interviews with visceral, "dirty" handheld cinematography. This duality creates a rhythm that keeps the audience connected to both the beauty and the struggle.
Sensory Immersion: I believe in "material writing." My documentaries are designed to make the viewer feel the temperature of the air, the vibration of a machine, and the weight of history in a stone.
Industrial Archaeology & Landscape: I treat machines and territories as living characters. From the silence of ancient ruins to the roar of a vintage engine, I craft a dialogue between the past and the present.
Why Documentary?
In an era of fleeting content, I choose the documentary format to build lasting resonance. I specialize in projects where the journey is the destination, and where the goal is to leave the audience with a "burning desire to begin again."
