About Me

Hi !

Living in the North of France I am a visual artist in contemporary art and cinema, I direct short films and I love to travel around to catch some inspiration for my projects when my eyes stumble on something appealing.

I traveled in many places since I was born because I had the chance to be raised in a backpacker family. Needless to say that now the virus of travelling is in me !

I am craving at meeting new inspiring people and share something with them. Inspiration is the moto of my living.

When I am not working on film project I need to go out, put my brain away, and let my body expresses itself on some physical things: I love adrenaline sports such as running in the mountain, downhill longboarding, sking, surfing, bicycle riding or any improvised sport that moves fast in the air. Apart from that I am a pretty calm guy (yes yes!).
I also have a particular relationship with nature, I love to go in the wild, sleep there, make a fire, cook some food...

Music, Movies, and Books

Wow tough question… there are so many, lets say:
Cinema: I am interested in any kinda alternative/underground/experimental moving images but I also like other stuff (more “known”) and I can freely talk about other cinema genre that you may like.
Music: I am fond of anything that has some energy and a bit of rhythm. It goes from psychedelic rock, to classic rock and even some heavier stuff like extreme metal (so much “labels” I am sorry ! But its better for comprehension). I also like electronic music more and more (mostly techno)
I also listen to folk music from different places in the world on a regular basis, and also classical music
Books: mostly books of art and philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I could tell you how I broke my leg in Australia the day before my flight back to Europe after 89 days of adventure and road trips. (it's a funny and not so adventurous story...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to take good and/or interresting videos with your camera
I can teach you how to skateboard (it's not so hard !)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking with people. When I lack at finding a recipe I try to improvise with what we find around us. Sometimes it can create some amazing tastes (but not always haha).

Wandering around, explore new places and make it ours. I like when you have no specific place to go and just put one foot after the other and follow where our instinct is leading you.

Go to some concert of your choice. I love it. Or just go to some bars in the night. Have some good coffee in the afternoon is cool to me as well. I also enjoy museums and galleries.
