With over thirty years of experience in film and television, I had the opportunity to shoot and direct for numerous productions. I immersed myself in post-production houses and film labs and started my career as a post-production manager. Color correction, editing techniques and special effects were the starting points for me to further embrace the creative process of making a film.
Having worked on both sides of the Atlantic, I have been fortunate enough to occasionally work with greats such as Tony Palmer, Paul Schrader and with not so well known but great directors and journalists, and have been involved in various types of productions of TV shows or commercials. to news and documentaries. Over time and developing personal projects, I considered ideas, angles, and stories that are critical to pitching successfully, and came to the conclusion that pertinent content and aesthetics are equally important when making a film.
To simplify my past experience:
◊ Video assistant for large-scale film productions in North America (feature films, as well as commercials and music videos) ◊ Cameraman for production houses and national television networks in Canada. (CTV, TVO, CFTO TV, OLN, HGTV, etc.) ◊ Journalist / cameraman / reporter, worked for national and international television networks (TV5 Monde, Demain TV, BBC World, France 24, Arte en France Television / France 3).

Today:
Now based in the Netherlands and still working freelance, I produce and supervise various types of films and enjoy editing short and medium lengths on Final Cut Pro (an editing software I have been familiar with since its earliest version.)
As a well-rounded cameraman I enjoy creating interesting lighting, but also moving the shoot with rails, cranes and stabilizers and playing with image profiles and color correction. As a news and documentary cameraman, I am skilled at delivering quality and relevant images, sometimes in difficult situations. As a producer and director, I delegate a team of young talents, cameramen, video editors, etc. I can deliver polished video content and oversee everything from the original creative concept, script, production to editing and post production.
