Medicine Festival
Aftermovie 2023 — Reading, UK
Live moments don’t come back.
A ceremony, a gathering, a festival – once it’s gone, it’s gone.
That’s what makes them meaningful.
And that’s also what makes filming them difficult.
In live settings, the work is not about directing people.
It’s about sensing when to move closer — and when to disappear.
Most of what matters happens between planned moments.
That’s where attention quietly pays off.
Before an event, we align on intention and scope.
Once it begins, there’s nothing to manage.
The focus stays where it belongs — on the people, the space, the unfolding.
The camera adapts, not the other way around.
”A work of art does not answer questions, it provokes them; and its essential meaning is in the tension between the contradictory answers.
Leonard Bernstein

What it felt like
Most of the time, the best work happens when the camera disappears.
Yet, a lot of people feel insecure or exposed in front of a lens.
I wouldn’t call it directing.
It’s more about helping someone relax into themselves so they don’t have to perform – and then the camera becomes even more invisible.
Yes.
I move where the work takes place.
Projects have taken me across Europe, the Middle East, Central and South America; since I travel a lot, feel free to reach out, perhaps everything might be perfectly aligned!
If something meaningful is happening somewhere, distance is usually the smallest part of the conversation.
I work with live formats where presence, realness and authenticity matters.
Festivals, retreats, concerts, gatherings… sometimes weddings, when they carry depth rather than spectacle.
It’s not really the format which connects them, but the truth of the moment and the fact that nothing can be repeated.
That’s depending on the event! Many live projects I filmed solo, some with larger crews of talented filmmakers with strong values.
Reach out and we will have a conversation and figure out what’s aligned with your vision.
I might come by myself and I’m also well connected with many talented artists across the world.
That’s the nature of live work – and the reason I enjoy it;
I’d even say, I enjoy the moments more, that can’t be repeated, because they are real, truthful and unique.
There’s no second take, no reset, no control over the moment.
I love to work with the perfect timing, my intuition, and the ability to stay calm while everything is happening at once.
Rarely, yes.
I wouldn’t call it directing, I’d say I help others to become their best version. Example many people struggle with insecurity in front of the lens, so I’d say my role is not to shape the moment, but to recognize it.
From my experience: The strongest images usually appear when people forget about the camera; and sometimes my job is to make you forget that I’m present.
Depending on the project, I work purely observational… and sometimes I will integrate short interviews and narrative elements where they feel organic.
This is usually decided together, once the nature of the event is clear.
Since starting filmmaking I’ll reply: “How much does it cost?”
About as much as a car.
Some are compact and get you exactly where you need to go.
Others are built for distance, comfort, and a very different kind of journey.
Some are compact and focused. Others involve multiple days, editing phases, and longer narrative work.
If the intention is clear and the collaboration feels aligned, the details tend to fall into place naturally.
For festivals and retreats, earlier is always better.
That said, meaningful projects have a way of finding their moment … and sometimes even on shorter notice.
Usually, you feel it quickly.
If you value presence and authenticity over performance, and depth over control,
we’ll likely speak the same language.
Send a short message with what’s unfolding —
where, when, and why it matters to you.
We’ll take it from there.
If you’re carrying an event or a gathering
that matters beyond the surface,
feel free to reach out.
A brief exchange is often enough
to sense whether it’s aligned.
