24 years of combined experience in various disciplines, ranging from Photography & Cinematography, Colorist & Image Post-Production, Visual Effects Compositor & CG Generalist, Film Director... until naturally evolving into a Production Visual Effects Supervisor.
I was always interested in STORYTELLING, focus on how new technologies allow filmmakers to tell their stories
in new ways never seen before.
What I love the most about my work is the mixture of Science, Technology and Art.
