For over 20 years, I’ve been directing films and plays of all kinds, from fiction to documentaries or commercials. I’ve made films both independently and for companies, and of the hundred or so films I’ve worked on, the vast majority are films I’ve directed. But I’ve also edited a lot of films, and taken on other jobs on a few productions as first assistant director or director of photography. The short films I’ve directed are in a wide variety of genres, from romantic comedy with a touch of mystery (In My Dreams) to psychological thriller (Emergency Exit) or even children’s tale (Seeking happiness at all cost). More recently, I have started directing theatre plays, including the play Brick Reaction.
FICTION
IN MY DREAMS
Tim, a shy young man often dreams of Mia, a beautiful girl he has fallen for. But Tim’s dreams are strange and always start with a stunning vision of Mia, only to end in a surreal and agonizing silence.
EMERGENCY EXIT (Sortie de secours)
After a first missed suicide attempt, eight young Internet users who are still disgusted by life, decided to meet to end their lives together. But very soon, they will be overtaken by the events and will realize the human impact of killing and being killed.
SEEKING HAPPINESS AT ALL COST (Cherche bonheur à tout prix)
Miky, a ten-year-old boy, is depressed despite being surrounded by a happy environment. He begins a quest for happiness, which ultimately leads him to try to buy it in various stores.
THEATRE
BRICK REACTION
Five students, in 1944, 2026 and 2081, are trapped in the rubble of their bombed-out building. With no way of getting out of their “brick prison” on their own, the three groups of students can only wait desperately for help to arrive. Set in three different eras and on three different days, the students are given plenty of time to talk to each other, and to question themselves and the world at war around them.
DOCUMENTARY
Geneve Craftsmanship Award Film Gallery
I have been entrusted with the privilege of telling the stories of these women and men who have devoted their lives to their craft. Through video profiles that aim to capture the personality and character of the artisan as closely as possible, I have always strived to highlight the exceptional, brilliant, and inspiring aspects of these colorful characters.
