What if you didn’t?
Documentaries about people who chose differently, and what happened because of it.
100 Documentaries
One question. A hundred answers.
Each film follows someone who stepped away from the expected path. Together they are my answer to a question I keep asking myself: what if you didn’t?

About
Hi, I’m Robin
I’ve been making films for more than 15 years and have worked with 600+ company clients. From the outside it worked. But I was executing other people’s visions while my own curiosity kept getting pushed down.
In December 2022, editing a film about a small restaurant in Lisbon at my kitchen table, it hit me: this is what I’m supposed to do. So I changed basically everything, took a big pay cut, and this documentary project was born.
Now I make films about people who use their skills to make something better. Because I believe good examples change things. Slowly.
Brand storytelling
Documentaries for mission-driven brands.
When our values align and we find an interesting angle, you can send me anywhere in the world. Partners have been part of films in Uganda, Brazil, Finland and on Gotland.
