As a child, I watched films like windows into other worlds, places to get lost in and dream through. Soon enough, I wanted to create my own. I studied visual arts, then filmmaking, to learn how to shape images, build stories and bring those inner landscapes to life.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"1059\">Then, without warning, music came into my life. In a flash, I found myself on stage, then in the studio, driven by rhythm, energy and urgency. It was raw, instinctive, sometimes chaotic. Rock taught me to create in the moment, to improvise, to find truth in letting go.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"444\" data-end=\"740\">\n<\/p><p data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1366\">When I came back to cinema, something had shifted. The image alone wasn\u2019t enough. It had to vibrate. My creative world took shape between eye and ear, between framing and tempo. I try to film the way I\u2019d play a song: with silence, tension and impulses. Always chasing that one emotion that stays with you.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>My latest short film co-written and co-directed with <b>Mickael Abbate<\/b>&nbsp;<i>No Wind To Hold (Le Vent se L\u00e8ve)<\/i>&nbsp;played at festivals worldwide and won several awards.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently developing new projects and I&#8217;m seeking agents and producers who value a truly rich and original artistic vision.
