Documentary Filmmaker and Social Impact Video Specialist
Based in Auckland and originally from Argentina, I have spent over 20 years telling stories for organisations doing meaningful work.
Award-Winning Filmmaker
I started in news, covering major events that shaped the country. That work taught me to move fast, adapt to unpredictable situations and recognise real moments as they happen. I also learned to stay calm when things get complicated, which is essential when filming sensitive stories.
My work spans documentary, journalism and social impact storytelling. I contributed to an investigation for AFP which received the SOPA Award for Excellence in Human Rights Reporting. I was camera operator on RNZ's political series The 9th Floor, a project that earned multiple awards. I was also recognised with a Qantas Media Award for Best Website Report. My films have screened at the Auckland International Film Festival and Sony Film Festival, and when the Mental Health Foundation launched their first film festival, I was honoured to serve as a judge.
Today I specialise in documentary-style video for NGOs, government agencies, health organisations and purpose-driven brands. From mental health campaigns and suicide prevention to lived experience stories and community impact projects, the subject matter changes but the approach stays the same. Find the human truth and tell it well.

I work best with people who have something genuine to say. My role is to help them say it clearly, whether it is a lived experience story or a corporate case study. I guide gently, know when to step back and create an environment where people can relax and be themselves.
How I Work
The best footage comes from trust, not pressure. Whether it's a lived experience story or a corporate interview, every project follows the same principles.
Respect on set
Everyone in front of the camera is treated with care. I take the time to make people comfortable, whether they've done a hundred interviews or this is their first.
Safety when it matters
For projects involving sensitive content, I assess the emotional weight before cameras roll. If something feels off, we adjust. No shot is worth someone's wellbeing.
Contributors have control
When people share personal stories, they have the right to see their footage before it goes public. People trust me with their experiences and that trust is honoured through to delivery.
Cultural protocols are followed
Working with Māori and Pasifika communities means understanding tikanga and respecting the responsibility that comes with telling someone else's story. This isn't a checkbox. It's built into how I plan, shoot and deliver.
The crew is briefed
Everyone on set understands the tone of what we're filming before we arrive. A mental health campaign and a brand video require different energy. The crew knows which one they're walking into.
These aren't policies. They're habits built over two decades of filming people who matter.
