Bio
I am a Berlin, Dakar and Cape Town based film director and producer, specializing in capturing authentic high-end cinematic experiences for documentaries, non-fictional content productions, and selected commercial collaborations. A multiple award-winning career led to being distributed on all major networks such as Netflix, Prime Video, and ARD+. My intention is to create excitement and awareness. I like to work with honest humans. Heartfelt, ambitious, sharp, and compassionate humans, who not only transform their surroundings towards a more positive future - they want to rewrite narratives with the power and the spirit to open up our hearts and minds. I am a member of the International Documentary Association (IDA) and the Documentary Producers Alliance (DPA).
Projects
BEIRUT FOREVER is a powerful documentary that follows the intertwining stories of four refugees stranded in Beirut, capturing the raw essence of what it means to be stuck in a foreign land - their struggles, hopes, and dreams for a better life amid the backdrop of a city fraught with challenges and uncertainty.
FROOME – Beyond the Finish Lineis a compelling documentary project that intimately follows Chris Froome’s pursuit of returning to the peloton for a final contest, before embarking on a shared journey to explore what his legacy is. Each episode blends his career milestones with personal reflections on identity and legacy, set against breathtaking Kenyan landscapes and the tapestry of global cycling.
Dive into the captivating world of ‘MARADONA – 7 YEARS IN DUBAI’, the first posthumous documentary on one of football’s greatest legends, which pulls back the curtain on his years in the United Arab Emirates, narrated by the people who knew Diego Armando Maradona best — his closest friends, family, star players, staff and ultra-fans. Imagine uncovering never-before-seen, private footage of the man revered as the "GOAT” of football, as we explore intimate, engrossing, and untold stories that unveil the human side of this larger-than-life athlete, looking for redemption and finding (temporary) peace.
