CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to travel back from the future to the present.

ABOUT ME

Converting my imagination into moving images and swirling sounds is my passion. Sharing thoughts, ideas, stories, experiences... by showing them and... sounding them... Why isn't there a word for demonstrating sound? I like playing with images and sounds to make sculptures in time. Compact experiences to share with others.

In short: I'm a film director. Working on my first feature fiction movie now and co-directing a Netflix documentary series around the world in 30 countries. Also worked for Vice a lot.

I made this film: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4119052/?ref_=nm_knf_i1
And this one: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/12/opinion/atomic-soldiers.html

Enough about me. Let's get to some clear aspects of my personality. I will line them up for you:

- I like learning languages
- I'm a good cook
- I really love good music, not bad music
- I play drums and occasionally furniture
- I'm a vegetarian, but if someone prepares a meat dish for me, I'll eat it
- I'm 1/2 French, 3/8 Dutch and 1/8 Chinese
