I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since I’ve posted a reel. Well here’s what we’ve been up to the last three years. Some highs and lows, but as always, an absolute blast. #happynewyear2026 #director #directorreel #cinematography #arri #filmbts #bts #alexamini #portfolio #plesca

Great fun shooting and directing a few short teasers for Triumph Motorcycles. This is my first edit attempt of it and it has ended up being my favourite. So directors cut it is. We provided a full production service on this and got some mega help on the ground in Spain from Shoot Outside SL. #arri #director #britishdirector #ronin #ronin4d #cinematography #almeria #spain #desert #cowboycountry #spaghettiwestern
84 years today my great aunt was sent to forced labour camps known as the Gulag when she was just 3 years old. This is the FULL trailer. WORTH A WATCH, some hidden gems in there. 13th of June, a date she will never forget.
Looking to raise money to complete her 25min long memoir as she relives the stories that forged her life. Shot with @terrencewilkins in Moldova in my aunts living room, with the kit from @pascaru_rental .
Animation by the talented @studioorcaanimation
Any producers out there that think they can raise some money to complete this film’s animation, please reach out 🙏

This one is personal. The start and teaser of a documentary we’ve shot in Moldova at beginning of this year about my great Aunt that survived the Gulag working camps as a 3 year old. Unbeknown to her, she would be wrongly imprisoned for 14 years.
Long way to go to get this fully over the line, but we are locked in to make it happen and have it submitted to film festivals in the summer.

Not the usual cinematic post, but we shot it, so why not share it. Technically, this is very complex, product shoots take days and weeks to perfect. And this is about 10 years of learnings to get to it looking almost CGI like.
Shot over 1 day on the Ronin 4D for about 25 seconds of moving image.
