As a director of photography his work is manifold, ranging from animal documentaries to dance films and fictional or documentary series shot around the globe.

His artistic approach is defined by a very intimate documentary style, that often becomes socially engaged and ethnographic.

Director's statement
This film This is the second short film I direct about spiritual, emotional or energetic “healing” through vibration. The first one was shot in the Peruvian Amazon jungle with two women from the Shipibo nation and their sacred chants. With this film I chose to make a portrait of Bernard Bosa, a man like any other, who doesn’t belong to a native community and who doesn’t pretend to be a healer, a shaman, not even a musician. However, he has devoted the last ten years of his life to offer vibration to others. He’s simply man that presents with humility his view on vibration and how he uses it in his practice, particularly with the didgeridoo. With this short film I hope to continue to demystify vibratory practices, that have nothing magical or occult to them, and that have been used by humans for centuries to “heal” emotional wounds.
