Director Page
Because of my musical past, I have a great interest in combining my musical background with my artistic practice in the world of animation cinema and illustration, working as a composer and sometimes instrumentalist in the films I direct.
My films usually cover themes like psychological conditions (such as OCD or Agoraphobia), solitude and surreal settings.
