I am an independent documentary filmmaker based in Gran Canaria. Right now, I'm completing my own feature documentary on Rio's street carnival as director, cinematographer, and producer. Previously, I created turnkey documentaries for global NGOs and international organizations, managing projects from initial concept to final cut. My visual approach is observational, unhurried, and focused on authentic, real-life storytelling.
Music Videos & Art Films
Music videos are short films. I provide full-cycle music video production — from developing the initial concept and writing the treatment, to directing on set and final video editing. The result is a cinematic piece that feels like a scene from a larger movie, rather than a generic promo. I use the same approach for art videos and performance work, building a visual language around the artist's identity, not around a corporate brief.
Commercial Video Production
From boutique hotels and restaurants to lifestyle brands, I offer full-cycle commercial videography and drone video services in the Canary Islands. I shoot promotional content the way I shoot my documentary films — as a director, not just an operator. The difference is visible: the shots breathe, the edit has natural rhythm, and the final commercial film feels authentic and alive. That's what truly connects with your audience.
