I am a Barcelona-based filmmaker and on-set director with a background in directing cinema and digital media. I have collaborated across Europe and North Africa on fictional documentaries, shorts, and music videos, shaping productions from development to on-set execution and post-production. My work emphasises collaboration across cultures, and the practicalities of international shoots. I speak several languages and thrive in dynamic teams, bringing a friendly, hands-on approach to every project. I enjoy exploring the space where fiction meets non-fiction to reveal truth on screen, whether in documentary-influenced work, music videos, or experimental shorts.
