About Me
(Director)
Although he grew up on B movies at the local cinema, he first got his start in the press. Originally working as a journalist and critic in obscure local and national media to make ends meet, he eventually decided to hand in his press card after a disappointing “television” experience. After one final online journalistic adventure helping create Rue89Lyon, he eventually decided to set up La Brèche studio with friends, devoting himself to his first passion and perhaps, one day, being able to buy a people carrier.
Today, he is a scriptwriter and director of music videos and ads. In 2022, he wrote and directed the short film Delivery to Hell. The film won a dozen awards before being broadcast on TF1 Séries Films and OCS. He is also the mind behind Pornographisme, a book that tells the story of X-rated cinema of the 70’s and 80’s through typographic posters from the period.
