The form of short narratives in whatever form are fascinating to him, since they slingshot you to a made up world / a mood / a place in such a short period of time.
Having a very visual approach of working helps him to bring the ideas onto the screen, to explore narratives and to define his dramaturgical voice.
To dive deep into the sub-world of a topic, to find out what lies underneath the obvious. On the search to find something unpolished and authentic. His work led him to clients like Puma, Strellson, Sony Music, Herold, Audi or Red Bull.
