Research in cognitive psychology on visual perception stirred my curiosity about filmmaking. After some time of screenwriting and journalism I started with corporate films and went on with documentaries. I worked on very diverse subjects: from steel industry to the launch of a new fragrance, from modern painting to architectural themes, from plane construction to the use of medical plants in the middle ages…. I am not attached to any special style, but very much concerned about the image, always trying to associate shape and content, developping esthetic to devote the story, conceiving films that really make sense, sustained by a discrete, but always present artistic direction. Last, but not least – some influence from my bi-cultural german-french background might have inspired the way I work on my films.
