Produced by @OtoxoProduction , Para Nadar is a short documentary about Ariadna Balmes, who, after surviving Leukemia, is now on a journey to compete in the swimming discipline at the Paris 2024 Paralympics.
Loved to get the opportunity to shoot and edit this lovely piece on sustainability in Cape Town. A great way to merge my passion for storytelling and ocean science.
In Cape Town we went beneath the waves with marine biologists form @CapeRadd to discover the kelp forests and creatures in False Bay. The Bay has been designated a Hope Spot by @MissionBlue, who work to protect these special areas that are critical to the health of the ocean.
¡Hoy hemos inaugurado oficialmente el Ocean Live Park! 🎊
Desde hoy, hasta el 1️⃣5️⃣ de enero, visítanos en @GVAAlicantePS y disfruta de la experiencia.

On this day 5 years ago, Ariadna Balmes was diagnosed with Leukemia. Since then, Ari's life has changed completely and I am proud to share her story, show everything she has achieved and what she has learned along the way.

So excited to have got this film out just in time for the race itself, the Ronde Van Vlaanderen! 🥳
A very proud moment to see my edit shared with such a large audience.
How better to get yourself in the mood for tomorrow's Ronde van Vlaanderen than by watching the new 'How To Win The Tour Of Flanders' documentary on GCN+ with @daniellloyd1?! 🇧🇪🦁🍺

Thanks for all the positive feedback on our latest film, 'How To Win Flanders'.
It was a pleasure to be back out in Belgium and speak to some of the greats, as well as to work with a very talented team of writers, editors, camera operators and producers. #RVV22
BTW, how COOL are these beer mats created by our graphics team for the contributors to How To Win Flanders?!
I'd like to get some made, but not sure whether there would be much demand?
I had a lot of fun making this - How To Win Flanders.
I learnt a lot from the likes of Johan Museeuw, Stijn Devolder, Hugo Coorevits, Nico Mattan, Stijn Knuts and Oliver Naesen, although I senseI'm no closer to being able to win it myself!
Out now on GCN+. Link to follow.
