Filmmaker, writer, and cinematographer.

I’m drawn to peripheral places and the people who inhabit them, and to the ways they live and work as the world around them changes.

I spend long periods with the people I film, allowing the work to grow out of those relationships. I pay attention to the details and idiosyncrasies of working life, and to the beauty found in labour and endurance.

My work pursues an experiential form of nonfiction. Grounded in observation, it draws on poetic and constructed elements to reach emotional and symbolic dimensions of experience that observation alone may not reveal.

My current project, Grischun, consists of five films set in the Romansh-speaking valleys of the Swiss Alps. Earlier work includes Serra, a body of films made in the schist and granite mountains of Portugal.

In 2025, I co-founded Otherlands, a Swiss non-profit dedicated to sustained attention to peripheral places and the stories shaped by their landscapes.
