The only diploma required to be a film maker is the love of life and the courage to take risks.
Claude Lelouch - French director
Born & raised in Paris and having grown up in a family that thinks that art is a foundational concept in the construction of a person, I have, from an early age been exposed to all forms of arts.
I then found a passion for cinema and everything audiovisual, with a particular interest in the world of science fiction and animation, especially Japanese and from Disney.
It is with this in mind, that from secondary school I start theater and audiovisual classes. Which will lead to three years of study at the EICAR (International School of Audiovisual Creation and Realisation) in directing with an option in production.
The turning point for me happens upon meeting with producers Gilles Ganzmann and Thibault Habraham before the end of my studies. In their production company GABtv, they assign me to all the key positions needed for the creation of a film, from the layout of the project to its release. I discover a work based on human contact and the investigation process.
I later discovered the dubbing and post-synchronization world by working for Dubbing Brother International.
It's an experience that pushed me to develop my desire to work in editing. I then started a training in editing and post production at La Fonderie de l'Image, which opened me up to all areas of the vital last level of assembly of a film.
To push myself even more, I undertook the realisation of a science fiction project inspired by the Alien saga. Shot in 3 nights in a huge set built for the occasion, I realised, produced and interpreted the main character of this short film, currently in post production, I rely on it to be able to obtain funds to produce a motion.
3D special effects also have been my passion of mine for several years, I now would like to put a foot in the work that calls for motion capture and the relationship that brings an actor in front of the camera and the animator behind his screen and softwares.
For several years now I have been very involved with everything related to the ecology and climate changes, which is for me the real big challenge we are facing today and tomorrow. I am convinced that if we decide to go the right direction and take the right decisions we can make a real change, this is why I will strive to bring up these political and conflictual aspects within the works that I will be making in the coming decades.
I also want to get closer to my first passion: acting.
