One human, one project – stories that try to make sense.
I’m Mario – the person behind Nomadic Filmworks: filmmaker, editor, homepage tinkerer and everything in between. What started as a creative escape from dull day jobs has become my profession – and the way I try to bring a bit more depth and awareness into moving images.
Nomadic Filmworks is a one-human project, built from scratch and shaped by many nights at the screen. I’m largely self-taught with more than ten years of hands-on editing and post-production – and I’ve complemented that with an AI & Automation Specialist training at AKIA Academy, covering AI fundamentals, prompt engineering & custom GPTs, practical AI applications (including image and video AI & avatars), automation for business, AI agents and low/no-code implementation. From first email to final export, you work directly with me. No outsourcing. No agency chain.
Today I combine cinematic editing, AI-assisted content workflows and a privacy-first server stack. The common thread: work that respects people, their stories and their data – especially for digital nomads, NGOs and small self-employed teams.

What drives Nomadic Filmworks
I believe that good videos are more than pretty visuals and quick entertainment. They can connect people who would otherwise never meet. They can make us pause for a moment, question our habits and remember what actually matters.
No matter where we’re from, what we believe, or what language we speak: every person has the same value and the same right to life, dignity and happiness. Through my work, I try to create a little more awareness for the world we live in and the people we share it with.
This mindset is at the core of what I do – whether I’m editing a political campaign video, a quiet music piece or an adventurous travel documentary.
- Stories that take people seriously – not just “content” to fill a feed
- Focus on human dignity, nuance and context, not cheap shock or clickbait
- Projects that can make life feel a bit more meaningful instead of more noisy
- Collaboration on eye level with people who care about what they put into the world
Short video impressions from Nomadic Filmworks.
Thoughtful, cinematic storytelling for real people.
I don’t optimize for maximum output or constant posting. I optimize for clarity, atmosphere and a story that holds together – technically and emotionally.
My style adapts to the project, but some things stay the same: I work with care, clarity and attention to detail. I like smooth transitions that give your eyes and ears time. I enjoy clean color work, precise sound, thoughtful motion graphics and visual effects that support the story instead of competing with it.
I mainly work in DaVinci Resolve and Fusion, supported by Blender and a small set of AI tools where they actually help. AI is there to make the workflow lighter – not to replace your story or make everything generic.
- Full post-production: from edit and color to compositing, graphics and sound
- Limited number of projects at the same time, so I can stay close to the material
- Clear feedback loops instead of endless versions that never really decide on something
- Privacy-first infrastructure for file exchange, automations and AI where possible
Why “Nomadic Filmworks”?
“Nomadic” is about how I work and how I want to live: freely, with enough space to think, to explore and to create on my own terms. Not tied to one fixed place, but rooted in a set of values that travel with me.
Every project is its own small journey: into a topic, a place, a personal story. My job is to go there with an open eye and an open heart – and then translate what we find into moving images.
- Remote-first, but not distant – close collaboration, even across borders
- Curious about cultures, languages and perspectives that are not my own
- Flexible in tools and formats, consistent in how people are treated
- Space for experiments, as long as the core stays human and grounded
Let’s see if our work and values fit.
You don’t need a perfect brief. A short description of who you are, what you want to do and why it matters to you is enough to start a conversation.
We start with a simple, honest exchange.
If you’re looking for someone who will treat your project as more than “just content”, tell me what you’re working on. I’ll let you know if I think I’m the right person for it – and if not, I’ll say that clearly too.
Email or a short video call – whatever is easier for you.
You can send me an email about you, your work and your idea – in English, German or Greek.
