Guillaume Bernar
Journalist’s eye. Filmmaker’s craft. Human stories that matter.
I’m a Paris-based filmmaker and videographer with a background in journalism and nearly 20 years of experience in visual storytelling. Before founding my own production company, I worked for many years as a grand reporter and cameraman, covering news, documentaries, and high-pressure field productions in France and abroad.
Today, I create premium corporate films, branded documentaries, interviews, recruitment videos, and testimonial-driven content for companies, institutions, and agencies. My strongest skills are storytelling, interviewing, directing non-professional speakers, and turning complex subjects into clear, engaging, human-centered films.
What differentiates me is not only my technical expertise, but also my editorial eye. I know how to quickly understand a client’s challenges, find the right narrative angle, and build a film that feels authentic, elegant, and useful. My journalistic background helps me ask the right questions, identify strong voices, and capture sincere moments on camera.
Clients often value my autonomy, reliability, and ability to manage a project from concept to final delivery. I’m especially experienced in corporate communication, employer branding, training, CSR topics, and institutional content.
If you are looking for a filmmaker who combines strong production value with real storytelling depth, I’d be glad to help.

Industry Experience
Produced social media video capsules for an IKEA pop-up store in one of Paris’s liveliest neighborhoods, designed to introduce a new collection. I was responsible for filming and editing, with deliverables tailored for both vertical and 16:9 formats.
Created an internal video series for TotalEnergies titled A Day With, following employees across different levels of the organization — from senior management to frontline staff — to capture a realistic portrait of their daily work. I handled directing, filming, and editing, using a documentary-style approach with handheld camera work, interviews, and b-roll to deliver engaging and human-centered stories.
Produced and shot a promotional film for SPIE CityNetworks to highlight its photovoltaic carport solutions. I managed the entire project from start to finish, including coordinating contributors with the client, capturing both ground and aerial footage, editing, and color grading, with delivery in under one week.
