My career in the world of creative production began with various advertising production companies (Bac Films Pub, Wanda, Les Fils De), where I held a variety of positions linked to film production.
First as a production assistant, then very quickly as Production Manager, I acquired solid project management skills in terms of budget and administration, as well as human and artistic skills.
I very quickly decided to move into the world of communications agencies, to perfect my knowledge as close as possible to the creative process, by becoming an Agency Producer. Working with top creative directors such as Christian Reuilly, Bruno Moreira and Michèle Cohen gave me a solid grounding in the creative process, the craft and a thorough understanding of the commercial relationship with advertisers.
The sheer volume of advertising production meant that I had to spend many days on set in every country in the world, and I was in close contact with some of the world's greatest directors of photography, set designers and editors, all committed to visual excellence and efficiency.
In 2014, I set up La Belle Façon, a film and audio-visual production company, with the aim of producing artistically ambitious advertising campaigns by proposing unexpected directors in line with the artistic requirement and boldness necessary for the quality of French advertising production.
Since 2018, La Belle Façon has also been developing fiction projects with the ambition of producing and building up a catalog of above all qualitative works in line with a fast-developing market.
In 2020, my childhood passion for TV Series drove me from Dallas TV Show to La Femis to improve my knowledge in expertising and producing TV Series
In 2021, I got involved in this development and co-wrote my first feature-length screenplay Gala, currently in development. I am also co-producing Nicolas Bary's next feature-film, Ascendance, in which I have been implicated in the writing process as well. I am currently developing several TV Series projects with a strong international view such as Qisas, Raptor Story or Em-Body.
