I have a long career as film writer / director / editor / teacher with a fancy for embodying genuine knowledge into my stories. My various award-winning documentaries have been translated in many languages and showcased across five continents. After graduating in cinema, I made partly a living from directing tons of award-winning commercial spots. Meanwhile, I wrote several scripts in French and English, ending up with a produced all-fiction feature Imax (for which I directed all the aerial footage)… Then again, my main passion having always been science, I studied and/or documented myself in mathematics, physics, biology, astronomy and environment, culminating lately in a successful essay on cloning and genetic manipulations. I also had a popular science page for a while in a monthly magazine. I pride myself to combine the ability of making sound popular science and having fun in the process. I make most of my poster myself in Photoshop and my favorite film editing platform is DaVinci Resolve.…
