BIO
[scope]
I studied Film first, then worked on TV while studying journalism and new media.
Work life has been divided between three passions: Writing, Photography and Cinema. Within this trinity I have been a photojournalist, a newswriter, a documentarist, a media production company owner, a commercial film director and editor.
Somehow related to this triangle but purely out of hedonistic reasons, I have in more recent years taken an MD in Literature/Arts which made me a hobbyist in Art History.
