DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER
HUMAN RIGHTS, MIGRATIONS, ARTS & CULTURE
Forget red carpets. I chase real stories.
You’ll find me around the world (Spain, France, Turkey, Mexico, Denmark…) following human sensitiveness through the camera, seeking for truth and sincerity, filming injustice, looking for hope and creating emotion through the lens.
I don’t chase fame, actors or showcases. I look for humanity and hope.
Wherever it is.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER!

ABOUT ME
Hello!
My name is Maëla and I am a documentary filmmaker.
I am known for being restless, hardworking and persistent.
A lover of audiovisual arts and passionate about historical memory, international politics and languages, I never stop traveling to seek new stories about migrations and human rights. My basic means of expression are image, sound and words, through which I aim to create human communication bonds, encourage reflection, generate impact and promote social awareness.
