About Me
I have a dual background in journalism and filmmaking. The factual and rational part of the reporter that I am coexists serenely with the creative and artistic part of the film director and completes it.
My life path is that of a child from the countryside of the Vaucluse region who received a loving education from simple parents who were turned towards the land and the know-how of craftsmen.
This background is my home, the one of doing and telling the truth. It is from this solid and inextricable base that I have forged my personality since my first trip to today.
Over the years, through encounters and geographical movements, my professional path has been built. After studying journalism and political science, I started in television after an internship in the private channel M6.
I spent 2 years there during which I integrated the principles of the narrative of the TV report in the magazine format.
The demands of a prime-time program launched an ambitious career made of precision and great adaptability to the constraints of the job, which is very comprehensive.
Like a pilgrim, I continue my path by exploring the different audiovisual production companies and the national broadcasters who entrust them with projects. I acquired a range of skills while exploring the different processes and mechanisms of the private and public sectors, notably France Television, in different positions.
My taste for artistic representation, which I have cultivated since childhood through the practice of a musical instrument, propels me in front of the cameras where I officiate 4 years on the public service.
This position allows me to understand other issues related to the audiovisual profession as well as the expectations of territories and communities in the field.
My desire for humanity and connection between the different entities encourages travel. Asia, India, North America etc... I forge in these travels an understanding of the world which constitutes my identity as well artistic as in the reasoning which are clean to me.
I feel free to belong to my own house, free to define the contours of the activities that occupy me.
As an epicurean attached to the arts, heritage and "beauty", it is with spirituality and intuition that I approach entrepreneurship. I believe in the strength of the individual and his own potential. I invest my professional time in meaningful work, where there is a need and a desire.
