About Me

Entrepreneur

I am a creative director and an independent documentary filmmaker running a small company.

Before I started making films I was working for big campaigns in some of the most important advertising agencies, after 5 years of hard work I start to organize and host international longboarding events (championships and freerides), where I discover the huge potential of creativity to make things happen.
