About Gentian

Coming from the art field, thus, quite an intruder in the standard film industry, I think I have the necessary distance to be objective and play with stories and elements. For almost 15 years, I produced commercials, completed a Feature film, four shorts, and a documentary. Screenwriting came to me as an innate need, showing off as a mid-life crisis passion. I think it works. At least for me.
