I tell stories that shake perspectives. I work between documentary and poetry, rescuing the intimate and forgotten to give them meaning with a bold, personal narrative. I aim to move, unsettle, and reveal what’s often out of focus.

He studied photography and cinematography at ORT schools, later specializing in documentary filmmaking at INA (France), and honing his craft at UBA (Argentina) and Maine Media College (USA).
