    paper Grifols — Institutional Video (Paraguay)

    I collaborated with Grifols Brazil on the production of an institutional video focused on the implementation of Panther and Procleix technologies within Paraguay’s public healthcare system.

    Working from a script developed by the client, the project was filmed at the Hospital Central del IPS, combining different visual approaches to communicate both infrastructure and impact.

    The production involved aerial footage to highlight the scale and improvements of the hospital facilities, as well as on-site interviews with medical professionals operating the equipment. We also documented the blood bank, where these technologies play a key role in ensuring safer and more efficient processes.

    The result is a piece that connects technical innovation with its real-world application, emphasizing the human dimension behind the system.

    Grateful to Grifols for the trust.

    paper MbarakaTrio — Music Video

    I directed and edited a music video for the Paraguayan guitar trio MbarakaTrio, created to accompany the release of a new piece.

    The entire video was shot in a single day at the Embassy of Brazil in Paraguay, making the most of the natural light and the architectural atmosphere of the space.

    Working from a minimal setup, the focus shifted towards the edit — where rhythm, pacing and structure became essential to transforming the material. Through montage, the piece moves between moments of intensity and calm, building a dynamic flow that responds directly to the music.

    The result is a visual interpretation that breaks away from the stillness of the setting, creating a dialogue between image and sound.

    Grateful to MbarakaTrio for the trust.

    paper Tidal Magazine - INDOMITA Fashion Film

    This project emerged from a collective creative process in Mexico City, bringing together a group of artists from different disciplines.

    Working alongside photographer The Polf, makeup artist David Friedmann, stylist Lucia Dao, and model Colu Díaz, we developed a fashion film rooted in a clear conceptual direction. From that starting point, each creative decision — image, styling, performance, and atmosphere — was shaped collaboratively.

    The piece follows a character moving through different urban situations, shifting between outfits and environments that build a cohesive yet fragmented narrative. Each moment exists on its own, while contributing to an overall sense of rhythm and identity.

    Conceived as an “urban fairytale” experience, the film plays with contrast and repetition, allowing multiple tones and atmospheres to coexist within the same narrative space.

    The final result is a fashion film that moves between structure and spontaneity, published in the independent fashion platform Tidal Magazine.

    paper UNICEF — Think Before You Share

    For this project with UNICEF, I developed a narrative short film to raise awareness about online safety for children and teenagers.

    The challenge was to create a piece that could travel across cultures — a story without dialogue, built entirely through image, rhythm and emotion.

    Through a cinematic approach, I focused on crafting an atmosphere that feels both intimate and unsettling, allowing the message to emerge gradually rather than being explicitly stated.

    The result is a universal story that invites reflection on the consequences of sharing online, aiming to resonate beyond language and connect on an emotional level.
