Personal Projects & Experiments
My Trip to Colombia (2025)
Filmed in 2023, edited in 2025. Shot on the 2003 Sony DCR-TRV19E handycam.
A PORTRAIT OF WORDS LEFT UNSPOKEN (2025)
An experiment in surrealism in the back garden of the house I used to live in with my friends in Herne Hill, London.
Directed, filmed & edited by Samuel Sierra
Riyad’s Dream (2023)
In the last few years I have delved deep into Jungian psychology and the exploration of the unconscious through dreams.
My friend Riyad and I conceptualised a short dream sequence where he grapples with internal conflict involving his father. The main idea was to use a surreal situation and abstract symbolism to evoke emotions that cannot be expressed through words.
Directed & filmed by Samuel Sierra

Pixilation Experiment (2022)
Inspired by filmmaker Pascal Baes’ pixilation style and Takashi Ito’s avant-garde masterpiece ‘Grim’.
A very brief experiment I tried a couple of years ago. I played around with time-lapse in an unorthodox way where I used a slow shutter and, every so often, turned the zoom ring while taking some of the photos, which created this interesting zoom effect at the beginning of the video.
