About Me

Background and expertise

Raised in Switzerland, having worked over the years in the USA, France and Spain, I have gone through just about every step of the production chain, from the early days as production assistant, production coordinator, location scout, to cameraman, editor, director, and finally agency producer and Head of TV.

A fan of animation, cinema and visual SFX since the age of 11 (the premiere of Star Wars…), I also worked as post-production manager for close to 13 years on major accounts.

I have always approached my productions with passion.

The passion, for all that I consider the essential role of a producer. Starting with a blank piece of paper, a few ideas, the basic facts and needs from a client, timing, budget, and building and designing the project from scratch, taking all the parameters into consideration, scouting for the right talent and specialists, selecting the best production and post procedures, creating flawless mutual communication between all the actors in the play. After all, the producer is the central gear in the clockwork, the master mechanic of the production machine.

The passion, for always trying to improve production processes. After being Head of TV at a dynamic international agency for years, I know that hiring outstanding individual talent alone is not enough to guarantee success. What really makes the difference is having a global approach of the project from first steps of conception to master delivery, applying a central and expert supervision to every step of the chain, building a team of superior professional and human value, where everyone will be inclined to give their best.

The experience of producing ambitious films around the globe, in the icy mountains, in the desert, at sea, in the jungle, with all the inherent challenges that never fail to present themselves, has led me to my present role as production consultant, where I put my deep understanding of production ground work, post-production, agency and client culture, at the service of brands, for them to optimize their spend and get the best creative output at the best possible price.

I am part of the global MCA (MurphyCobb Associates) network.
