About

I’m a French-American director and creative producer who loves pushing narrative buttons and boundaries, telling stories from unexpected angles, and finding emotions along the way.

I believe every project should have an entertainment value. I have brought that approach to the docs, commercials, branded content and social media videos I’ve made for media outlets, agencies and companies.

My latest short film, We Ride, about a fierce new generation of motorcycle riders, premiered at Hot Docs, and I’m currently developing a narrative project exploring autonomous systems competing with humans.

Before diving into filmmaking, I worked as a strategist at the ad agency TBWA\Paris (2006–10), led branded content for the video platform Dailymotion (2010–14) then joined VICE as a Senior Creative (2014-18).

I am also the host of “Palme d’horreur”, a French-language podcast dissecting horror movies (the result of too many sleepless childhood nights).

I’m based in San Francisco.
