In addition to directing, I am a skilled DP and Apple certified pro editor. I can travel worldwide on short notice and edit via remote with fiber optics internet. I have the experience and enthusiasm to make your project great! Here are some comments about my work from major publications: "Powerfully direct." - The New York Times "Urgent, deeply painful yet lovely in its aesthetics." The Village Voice "Gorgeous visual quality, thanks to the stark black-and-white cinematography that recalls the Depression-era photographs of Dorothea Lange." The Hollywood Reporter
Shot undercover in Afghanistan during Taliban rule, this hard-hitting documentary showed to the world for the first time how women's groups fought fundamentalism under one of the most gender-repressive regimes in the contemporary world. It won the World Medal at the New York Festivals.
Released theatrically in New York and Paris, A Requiem for Syrian Refugees is a wrenching documentary featuring epic landscapes and compelling candid interviews with Syrian refugees. Scored to Gabriel Faure's Requiem, the film is a poignant portrait of the Syrian refugee crisis, as well as a celebration of the human spirit facing adversity. Shot on location in Iraq in stark black and white, Requiem is a powerful tale of suffering and survival, a universal reminder of the civilian toll and trauma
These are some of the main documentaries I have made worldwide.
Ukraine 5.6 is a reflection on war and resilience based on testimonies of Ukraine war survivors. The documentary is a highly emotional tale of grief and survival against all odds. The narrative arc is from darkness to light, from a grave digger at work in a cemetery to an uplifting finale with the survivors rebuilding their lives.
