When you ask people why they make films, you often get answers like: "I want to fathom the soul of humanity." For me, it’s simpler: I like buttons. Lots of buttons. And lenses that are heavier than my ego.
I am a filmmaker by passion and self-taught by conviction. Basically, that just means I didn't go to film school to learn how to do it "properly," but instead spent thousands of hours on YouTube figuring out why my shots don’t look like Denis Villeneuve’s. (Spoiler: It’s usually the budget. And the lighting. And Denis Villeneuve.)
The Tech Obsession (or: Why I’m Broke) Let’s be honest: My drive isn’t so much writing profound dialogue, but the fascinating technology behind it. I suffer from a healthy form of "Gear Acquisition Syndrome." While others relax and watch Netflix, I’m analyzing freeze-frames for noise and dynamic range.
I love the "vintage look" and the anamorphic widescreen format. Not just because it looks cinematic, but also because the blur and film grain mercifully hide the fact that I missed focus by two centimeters again. With my Sony FX30, I chase that organic Hollywood look, tweak colors in DaVinci Resolve, and pretend I know exactly what "Color Science" means. My dream is to one day stand on a set in a massive camera vest with a Sony Venice—even if I’ll probably just ruin my back doing it.
My Archenemy: Physics My sets are places of creativity and a battle against the elements. My biggest opponent isn't the critical viewer, but humidity. Nothing kills the romance of a shoot faster than walking into a warm room with ice-cold equipment and having expensive lenses fog up faster than my glasses when I'm cooking pasta. But hey, so far I’ve managed to get every shot in the can—even if it took a hairdryer and some sweet-talking.
Important: Please Do Not Hire Me! Before anyone gets any funny ideas: This is purely a private affair. I’m not selling anything, I don’t shoot wedding videos (really, I don’t!), and I don’t have a business strategy. This website is my digital living room where I archive my short films, music videos, and visual experiments.
I do this because I enjoy letting technology and art collide. If you want to see if that works out or ends in a catastrophe, feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel. You’ll have to bring your own popcorn, though.
