DEMO REEL
MASTER OF SCIENCE – MASTER OF ART
I am a creative person with strong management abilities. Some would define me as an artist; but maybe I’m not.
A storyteller, which makes me a good documentary maker, I can successfully direct, shoot and produce almost any mass media genre including film, radio, live shows & sports and photography.
The main professional asset is the management of mass-media stations. Translated in audience figures and revenue, I have got substantial achievements as Sports Manager and later Self-Promotion Manager of a main EU TV station, General Manager of a local TV Station and Country Production Manager of the National Geographic Channels.
As Director-DOP, my portfolio counts more than 150 tv-programs, documentaries and shows, from the war in Iraq or expeditions in the Himalayas, or Caucasus, to TV-series with Academy Awarded stars at Hollywood; from World & Olympic champions in focus to spiritual quests in Cuba or Tibet. In the last 30 years I made factual films in more than 25 countries, from Mauritania or Nepal to Finland or Germany.
You can use my experience as an all-around film-maker: I write, shoot, direct, edit, produce; many of my programs were made in dynamic two member crews with only a host on camera.
You can assign me to the most difficult on location productions, from the Olympics to extreme expeditions, as taking unexpected tough challenges is my way of life.
I will direct and produce your corporate and industrial videos as well as your next successful election campaign.
As part of your large-scale productions as feature films, docu-dramas and commercials, I direct with creativity, smiling diplomacy and competence (that’s what they say).
You can rely on my eye as photographer for stills and video and you’ll find that taking pictures is the most rewarding craft I master.

The trendy title today would be “content maker”. However, I would stick to “director-producer”, mainly for non-feature genre (also trendy called “factual”).
My portfolio counts more than 150 main productions: documentaries, corporate, commercials and shows, covering from the war in Iraq or expeditions in the Himalayas or Caucasus, to TV-series with Oscar stars at Hollywood; from world & olympic champions in focus, to spiritual quests in Cuba or Tibet.
In the last three decades I directed productions in more than 25 countries, from Mauritania or Thailand to Finland or the U.K., face to face with huge personalities as Nadia Comaneci, Fidel Castro, Efheni Plushenco as well as other great champions, the funding members of Buena Vista Social Club, famous artists.
