About
I’m building Common Stories, a narrative studio creating immersive films from inside regenerative communities. The first documentary explores how regeneration, shared governance and technology can help rebuild the commons.
Impact
Regenerative communities are shaping real alternatives, but often remain isolated and unseen. Common Stories helps them see each other, strengthen their bonds and share what works—so an emerging culture can grow together.
Progress
I directed Villages of the Future, a 67-minute documentary on Portugal’s rural regeneration movement. It became the founding work behind Common Stories and proved the power of immersive storytelling to connect people, places and ideas.
Team
My work comes from immersion, not parachute storytelling. I spend time inside communities, building trust and filming both the visible work and the quiet, unscripted moments that reveal how new cultures are actually being lived.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
