FAQ
Every project starts with a creative briefing to understand your brand, goals, and target audience. From there I develop a concept and visual direction, plan the production in detail, shoot on location, and handle the complete post production — editing, color grading, sound design, and delivery in all required formats.
Timelines vary depending on scope and complexity. A social media content shoot can be turned around in a few days, while a full campaign film typically takes 4–8 weeks from concept to final delivery. I always work with clear milestones and keep you updated throughout.
Every project is different. Smaller social content productions start around €3,000–5,000, while larger campaign films with multiple shooting days, crew, and extensive post production move into five-figure budgets. I provide transparent quotes after understanding your specific needs.
I offer end-to-end film production: creative direction, cinematography, drone & FPV footage, editing, color grading, sound design, and VFX. From TV commercials and brand films to social media content and documentary work — always tailored to your platform and audience.
Both. Many projects I handle entirely myself — from camera to final cut. For larger-scale productions, I work with a trusted network of film professionals including producers, gaffers, sound engineers, and additional camera operators.
Absolutely. I believe in collaborative filmmaking. You'll have input at every stage — from concept approval to rough cut reviews. I typically include two rounds of revisions in post production to make sure the final result matches your vision.
I deliver in all required formats and aspect ratios — from 16:9 hero films for web and TV to 9:16 social cuts for Instagram Reels and TikTok, plus 1:1 for feed posts. Every piece of content is optimized for its intended platform.
