My approach to filmmaking is informed by years of working alongside NGOs, research institutes, and vulnerable communities across Latin America and the UK. From documenting refugee journeys and military coups to exploring personal trauma, mental health, and climate justice, I prioritise non-extractive, collaborative and decolonial frameworks that build deep, enduring trust. Filmmaking, to me, is most powerful when it investigates, empowers and resonates with different communities and audiences.

I view documentary filmmaking as a collaborative, non-extractive partnership rather than a transaction, ensuring that vulnerable contributors, trauma narratives, and diverse community voices are represented with dignity, safety, and absolute integrity. I embed duty-of-care practices, trauma-informed communication, and mental health support directly into my production and post-production workflows. By establishing transparent boundaries and deep trust from day one, I create spaces where authentic storytelling can flourish naturally. As a multilingual professional fluent in English, Portuguese, French, and Italian, I bridge cultural and academic contexts, translating complex human experiences into compelling visual cinema.
