BIOGRAPHY

​

After years designing credit sequences for French TV and MAGNETO PRESS, I directed many music videos and commercials...

​

But my vocation started during the 2000's, when I was already drawing my own comics inspired by marvel's super heroes and "The Legend of Zelda 's games. Interested in comics,"bande déssiné", storyboard and film making. I accepted at Initiative, one of the best Graphics communication schools in France. After this, I started working at visual effects companies as a vfx artist and supervisor.

 

What I really want is to create my own films. I start with the short film "Black Widow". In these 8 minutes of inventiveness, borrowing to the aesthetics of retro-film making, "Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari", "The Night of the Hunter", "Metropolis" and many others.

24 hours after its online launch, it is the absolute buzz. French Society call me a few days later to make commercial, tv-show and music video...

​

I direct commercials for brands like Louis Vuitton, Toyota, Rochebobois, "Chateau de Versailles", FAB, BMW and music videos for artists like no money kids where the singer tryed to escape his own poster.

 

In most of my films, a graphic world interferes with reality, and inanimate creatures start to move; I love depicting the collision between these two world. A multi-talented individual, I also frequently draw parts of my films.

 

I currently working on a new film project but also on an adaptation of a frank history king named Clovis, which will be shot in France.
