People’s Choice Documentary Award - 2nd Runner Up
In a powerful exploration of redemption and endurance, this feature documentary follows Tiberiu Uşeriu, an extreme ultramarathon champion who transformed his life after serving time in a German high-security prison.
I served as a camera operator and drone pilot across Romania, Italy, and Sweden, operating in high-mobility environments. During dramatic recreations, I took on a hybrid leadership role managing the camera team, operating B-cam, and giving an extra hand to lighting and grip departments when time allowed. My work focused on capturing the intensity of ultra races without interrupting their pace, from tracking runners via e-bike in the Italian mountains to filming from helicopters and operating in sub-zero winter conditions on snowmobiles in Sweden.
