After some time spent assisting on film sets, as well as filming projects of his own, he began working as a cinematographer. In 2018 he co-founded the production company Exploded View Films, which became a key driver of both creative and commercial projects. His current filmography consists of documentaries, narrative films, commercials, music videos and experimental work. As of 2020, Anton focused on honing his skills as a director of both fiction and non-fiction film, with a particular interest in the area where the two overlap.
