Biography
I'm a filmmaker and cinematographer based in the South of France. My first feature as a director, A Shepherd (2024), was presented in more than 30 film festivals among which Visions du réel, FIPADOC, DOK.fest München, Lussas, Verzio Human Rights Film Festival or Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival, and it won 16 prizes to this day. As a cinematographer I enjoy visually challenging projects which require special reflection on how to capture the story. All films I've worked on were presented in major film festivals. I'm currently developing my second feature film set in the implacable world of muay thaï in Southern Thailand.
