My first reel before “mountains calling” comes out, so typical haha.
While working on that project (hopefully coming soon), I got the chance to create my first “real” portfolio reel, which I couldn’t pass up—besides, it saved me from sifting through hours of footage (LOL). Looking back at it now, I can truly say what a journey over the past 3 years of actively trying to figure stuff out on my own. It also made me realise how little I’m creating and how much more I want to. Hopefully, I’ll get myself to dive into more projects, even the small ones, just for the sake of it, cause sometimes you create just because...
mountains calling OUT NOW ON YOUTUBE!!! you can find it in the link in my bio ofc!
– well that’s been a journey and a lot that i’ve learnt along the way. they say that filmmaking is 90% problem solving and 10% actually creating something and that pretty much summarizes this whole project.
honestly speaking if the topic wasn’t so dear to me i don’t think i’d be able to finish it just from the shear perspective of how much the whole concept had and had to change. forever grateful for the ability to put it into something “tangible” and share it around.
if you like it, please share the film with others, it would mean the world to me!

A picture about a long dream of mine: to go to the mountains at 18 and seek solitude.
Five years later, I finally got to fulfil that and reflect on the journey in this short travel film.
mountains calling – my new short film coming out this sunday, 8pm cet.
a picture about a long dream of mine: to go to the mountains at 18 and seek solitude.
this, to me, represented our trip to dolomites we took just in the middle of 2025 – a trip i will forever remember, and one i’m endlessly grateful i got to capture.
With “mountains calling” coming very soon, I come to share with you some of the shots that both did and didn’t make it to the final film. Although it first looked like a quite easy to make, short film, it turned out to be more bumpy than I could’ve imagined.
What was supposed to be my debut verité, turned to the direction which was quite familiar to me… not in a bad way though. Although I didn’t get what I wanted at first, I had to rely on my creative problem-solving during the post production. There is no way to reshoot it, you just have to make the best out of it. It feels like a full-circle now.
“mountains calling” is a true documentary self-portrait, a style I fist explored when I started to take film more seriously at the end of 2022, when I got back after I left London (maybe right place wrong time?), and which I was unable to finish back then. Thanks to that, this process now felt as obvious and familiar as it could’ve.

this kinda felt like an eternity. days go by, each feels the same as the one you thought you closed on before going to sleep. at some point you start to forget what your normal life is, where your passion lies.
one day i tried to capture that into a set of a few individual clips. put together they represent what i feel like is a true depiction of a better day in a FINALS SEASON
3 Stages of Moving On🎥 a project I’ve been working on roughly since July. so far it is the most dear of my past work, not from a production quality standpoint but rather an emotional attachment. this is so far the most vulnerable that i’ve been and i believe it’s quite easy to see.
this short film isn’t a production masterpiece, it is a story that everyone can find a way to relate to somehow. enjoy!
