Hi, I'm Raphael Rueck, a videographer, animator and film critic with ten years of experience reporting from film festivals, politics, and daily news. I've developed strong writing, communication, and video editing skills, and I work across German and French as mother tongues with a collaborative, curious approach. Over the years I've produced and edited content for festivals, cultural heritage institutions and online platforms, while also teaching languages and translating. I'm always eager to learn new tools and take on fresh stories.
