"An occasional crime fighter (depending on risk level and proportional size of potential spectators)"
Starting a career in actionsport and documentary style content creation, Emile always loved telling or documenting fascinating stories. After working for some big companies and their attempts in sustainable business models for over 6 years, he re-directed his efforts in smaller, more passionate endeavours and got involved with an award winning international agency called Magnetic Creative (an agency all about helping companies find their true drive in an ever chaotic digital era).
4 years later he met the one and only head of media, Steve Schutte.
Enter the Ferral family.
When Emile isn't traveling abroad creativing video content, he's co-directing and editing Ferral podcasts making Steve look as good as the proximity-viable lighting allows. Telling great stories of counterculture vigilantes under the flag of Ferral life.
