In 2009, he shot and edited another feature documentary, this time about rock bands. In 2010, when he had an internship at Magnum In Motion, where he developed a project in the streets and subways of NYC, using photos and video, in an attempt to get closer to those people who seemed so distant to me, although we shared the same environment.
