Selected projects.

Challenge Swisshand gives microcredits to women in Uganda near the poverty line, and depends on donors to keep doing it. The film had to make that impact tangible: prove the model changes lives rather than describe it.

Vision Let the women speak for themselves. Their stories carry the film; interviews with local programme leads round out the picture.

Result A documentary on the work in Uganda, short reels for Instagram, stills for annual reports and donor letters, and a new donor-facing website, all in one visual language. Institutional donors have responded well.

Challenge A feature shot in London and Zurich, produced straight through the Covid pandemic: every border closure, safety protocol and schedule change included.

Vision Cornel produced: international crew and equipment logistics, casting and crew recruiting, contract negotiations, with the script instincts learned at Bona Fide in Los Angeles.

Result A completed feature film, acquired by Netflix.

Challenge A film about closeness to nature. The hard part was finding someone who lives that, and telling his story with real visual weight.

Vision Long conversations and a hike with Renato Roganti, a game warden in the Swiss Alps, became a portrait of how he sees nature and his own life. One cinema camera, a small crew.

Result A short, cinematic documentary. A few minutes inside Renato’s world.
