I am a Beninese filmmaker who grew up between Cotonou (Benin) and Abidjan (Ivory Coast), graduated with a degree in journalism and a master's degree in film and television directing. My first short film, "Le Rêve d'une presqu'île" was awarded at the Mobile Film Festival in Rabat. My second film, "Corps de femme", a short intimate documentary, received several awards in different African festivals. I also directed "Séquelles", a short fiction that won an award at the Benin Film Awards, as well as "La Lanterne", my last short film to date. In parallel to my personal projects, I work on local productions as an assistant director.
