Connecting with amazing crew, in every single department. During more than 15 years, I have learned with those individuals that I am so grateful for! I've worked with legendary Directors: Oliver Stone, Robert Rodriguez, James Cameron, Antoine Fuqua, Martin Campbell, Edward Zwick, Peter Berg and the late Tony Scott. I put all this knowledge into practice. In addition, with all the research and hours of learning in manuals and books like a puzzle, I took the best pieces and I created my own style".
