As a freelance director/cameraman/editor I have more than 20 years experience in news, documentary and corporate film making. Also, I have valid knowledge in DVD production, satellite up linking, video streaming and web design.
As a director/cameraman I have had many commissions by major TV stations. Plus, I have worked as a cameraman and/or editor in partnership with other directors.
I’m used to working in challenging environments world-wide – specialising in conflict zones from the mountains of Afghanistan to the rainforests of New Guinea. My extensive background includes the ability to act alone or as part of a larger production team; to balance determination with flexibility, deliver the footage, and to stay on schedule and within budget whatever the circumstances.
My nationality is Swiss.
Date of birth: 16/9/1962
