Before introducing you to the team, I'd like to talk to you about what's important to me, the drive that made me understand the magic of being part of creating memories and what helped me to create Polifacetika.
On my fourth birthday, I climbed into a chair in front of my family and sang "ese toro enamorado de la luna" (a Spanish song).
I know this because in my memories box I still keep each one of the videos that my uncle recorded for us.
If it wasn't for those VHS cassettes, I wouldn't remember how my father hugged me when I started taking my first steps, my brother's surprised face when he opened Christmas presents, the kisses my mother gave me while she called me "doll" or how with my shamelessness I once told my grandma "what big t**s".
Nor would I remember my parents' excitement on their wedding day or how my grandfather who has passed away played with his grandchildren like another child.
I think I have seen the videos a thousand times in my life and I always have tears in my eyes, I laugh and I am grateful with all my heart that my family has taken charge of creating all these memories for me and showing me everything that happened before I was born and in my first few years of life.

Polifacetika Team
This is me, Merche Moriana
My career as a videographer and photographer started in Malaga where I studied analog photography and video makingfor 4 years. My first experience abroad came with three months of internship in a studio in Rome (Italy) where I started to speak Italian, attend my first weddings and make my own audiovisual projects.
In 2016 I went to Croatia and worked as a videographer for a cultural promotional association and one of my experience videos was awarded by the European YouthCard.
In 2017 I embarked on a journey of more than 4000k, by bike through Europe with my boyfriend, Fabrizio, recording all our experience.
My work is inspired by all the experiences I've had, all the people I've met and all the stories I've had a chance to tell.
