The Awakening

Hi, Michel here. I’m a Swiss director based in Zurich. Born near Baden, I grew up in a small room shared with my brother, where tight space and visual noise shaped my eye for order. Self-taught, I developed a monochrome, minimal discipline—structure, muted palettes, and open space.

I started in fashion, writing and directing campaigns before moving into film. I work across commercials, music videos, and films.
Uncluttered frames—documentary or scripted.
