Réalisateur indépendant, photographe aux heures perdues.

Attaché à mon coin de lorraine, je mets en avant la jeunesse rurale, les joueuses de foot amateur, les stars du quotidien.

Il m'arrive aussi d'errer en quête de paysages et de portraits...

Plusieurs séries de photos sont liées à des projets que j'ai réalisé : Outsiders (2024, 59 min), Outsiders : la série (2025, 3*20 min), Loin des stars (en cours).

French filmmaker, born in a land of hope and steel.

I come from a working-class region in France, with its abandoned factories and its lost dreams.

I learned to make films without going to a film school. I started in 2017 with a first short film, and then a first documentary released in 2020, about steelworkers.

So Far From Hell is my first feature-length documentary, and has been selected in several festivals around the world.

In 2022, I started a new documentary project, called Outsiders, about an amateur women's football team.

In 2023 I bought a Polaroid...what brought me here.
