I have been filming and editing since I was a teenager, making my own experimental shorts in Switzerland in the early nineties. When moving to New York in 1999 I started working in the camera department of fiction and documentary projects (shorts & features), while also editing commercials, museum films, and music videos.

Here are a selection of projects from the archives I worked on as director of photography or video editor before I started directing documentaries in 2010.
