Sebastien Gilbert
Cinematographer

Hello,
I am a documentary filmmaker and founder of Maldavar Films, where we specialize in creating visual stories that celebrate sports, culinary arts, and occasionally explore the underwater world—a nod to my lifelong love for the ocean.
​
In addition to my role at Maldavar Films, I am a partner in Ribbon Sports, a media company dedicated to creating impactful sports-related content and events.
I’ve also developed an Underwater Filmmaking Course, complete with digital color grading tools, empowering diving creators to capture and enhance their underwater stories.
​
As an experienced camera operator, video editor, and colorist, I am deeply passionate about the craft of filmmaking. With over a decade in the industry, I can confidently say that I’ve found my "ikigai".
