BIO
The desire to direct came to me very early on, as a teenager when I worked in associations and made several clips and documentaries on the urban dance scene in Orleans. At the same time, I was taking theater lessons.

After business studies and boring experiences in banking and telephony, I decided to return to my first love: image and writing.

I worked for a few years in a Parisian press agency as a production assistant before training in image as a director of photography.

I have been in this profession for over ten years now and have produced several magazines and documentaries for television.

I also worked as director of photography on two short films directed by Sylvain Robineau: Sabine (2016) and Le Brame du Cerf (2018).

"Chahine" (2018) is my first short film as a director.
