Overview
About Me
Hi! I have a curious mind and an adventurous spirit - I love taking on the things that seem impossible on the horizon and become pillars of my life story in the rearview.
I work as a Cinematographer and Producer in the film industry in Canada, which means travelling is a tool to expand my mind, meet amazing people and share experiences that influence my work.
Im currently driving a motorcycle across the US and Canada to honor my dad's life and spread his ashes in all places he lived around the world.
