About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the World and make films

ABOUT ME

I believe they would first say I am a loyal and communicative friend. They would mention the fact I am a very open minded and outgoing person, and that the years I have spent living in europe, asia and north america have made me adventurous. They would mention that I am a very honest and hard working person, who is very dedicated to my craft (filmmaking) but who at the same time enjoys going out with friends. They would certainly mention how much I love to travel and meet people from different parts of the world.

Interests

I very much enjoy languages, traveling, sports and multiple kinds of artistic endeavors. I studied film directing at the School of Visual Arts in New York and I have directed several short films, written 2 features and working on producing one of them. I am also a travel photographer and enjoy working on still photography. I quite often work on making large collages of famous historical figures. I truly love traveling and have taken it as a personal need to do so as often as I can. I have lived and travelled several times to China and I am active in learning the chinese language.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. I went to mount Karakul in Xinjiang province in western China. It is a touristless snowcapped mountain almost 4,000 meters high, with a green-blue lake between it and a chain of other himalayan peaks that felt like heaven on earth.
2. I went to Barcelona for the last World Cup when Spain won. The crowds of people cheering and partying down the streets of the city made it into a festival of happiness and nationalism.
3. I went night diving in Providence Island off the Colombian coast. We went down into a sunken german WW2 ship and at the end of the dive, we shut out flash lights off in pitch black darkness and swam with the plankton lighting up like in a sea of green stars.
