About

I see myself as a link between the audio and the visual world, bridging picture and sound through years of hands-on work across film, video, and imaging. I operate as a filmmaker and visual artist with a global outlook, leading projects from concept to delivery while collaborating across disciplines and borders. My approach blends technical craft with creative storytelling, and I’m always eager to explore new technologies and methods to push the boundaries of what’s possible in media production.

Based in Zurich, I run MAKANART and have wide experience as a cameraman, editor, producer, drone pilot, director, and photographer. I’ve worked on music videos, corporate productions, advertising, animation, and time-lapse projects, constantly refining my skills in video, photo, lighting, and post-production. I’m passionate about learning and applying the latest tools and techniques to deliver compelling visual experiences.
