About 
Short Biography:
Born: 1978 in Lavelanet / France
Since I started doing camerawork for The ENG Company during my Art Academy studies in 2002 I slowly build up my skills from filming small news items for local broadcasters to demanding (inter)national assignments for renowned national current affairs programs like Netwerk and Nova. Mastering laptop AVID editing software combined with a flexible and curious mindset got me on assignments anywhere between Port au Prince and the Gaza-strip. Currently I am expanding my skills to script writing and set direction for small dramatized film productions and music videos all in order to fulfill my goals of becoming a versatile AV professional.

Short-Doc Independent Short-Doc "Le Weekend" About Thomas Baggerman Trio and Gypsy Jazz
12 minute documentary I independently produced and financed about Thomas Baggerman and his Gypsy Jazz ensemble. It portraits the ambition and determination the young musicians have while working on their debut album "Le Weekend". It also tells the story of passion and brotherhood on the holy grounds of Samois sur Seine, near Paris. Gypsy Jazz lovers from all over the globe gather there once a year to honor the legacy of guitar legend Django Reinhardt.See The Thomas Baggerman Trio:www.ThomasBaggermanTrio.com
