I made a film.

In 2025 I followed Alice across Spain. She was attempting one of the most brutal solo endurance races in Europe. 1,500 km through the desert. Seven days. Self-sustained.

About silence. About the desert doing what deserts do. Produced by Alice Segre and Raphaël Beisel. |

During Run for Europe, I spent time with the team at Rewilding Europe in Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, and Croatia. Rewilding Europe is a conservation organization that restores natural ecosystems across Europe by bringing back missing species, repairing landscapes, and letting nature regenerate itself with minimal human control. In Romania, they studied a landscape for years before...
