BIOGRAPHIE

Born in 1976, I grew up in a family of 10 children with very cinephile parents. Initially attracted by real-life cinema, I completed a Master's Degree in Creative Documentary Filmmaking (Creadoc) under the guidance of director Mariana Otero. I made a documentary called "A la maison" (At home), in which I addressed the issue of parenthood by following a young pregnant woman who gave birth to her fourth child at home. After a photography workshop, I made a documentary called "Rebondir" (Bouncing Back) at a work integration center in Marcoussis, Essonne (Paris suburb). Following the path of five people with atypical profiles, I questioned the meaning of the word "integration". After documentaries, I turned to fiction in order to master acting and write my own dialogues. I make several films for the Nikon Festival, the Mobile Film Festival, Paris Courts Devant and TF1's Imagine competition. These films allow me to develop my characterization, improve my direction and strengthen my attachment to comedy. To progress, I take part in an acting course at the Maison du Film (Movie association), directed by A. Prioul (3 weeks). I learn the subtleties of acting and the need to clarify my intentions. I also took a course on screenwriting (directed by J.C. Baumerder and J.P. Ronssin) and took part in R. McKee's Story seminar. I attended the Blanche Salant and Paul Weaver international drama workshop in Paris, and I regularly act for television and film. In 2021, I created a collective of actors called "Demain on réplique" (Tomorrow we reply). We organize professional meetings with casting directors, directors and scriptwriters, a time for collective work and research.
