About Me

ABOUT ME

I always find it pretty hard to fill these boxes. So here's what popping out of my mind :
- I'm into cinema, music and literature
- I do believe in the body and soul bs, so i play squash, us football and basketball
- I need to do things that I feel matter, to feel useful
- I love to dance, especially on soul music but as a punk rock fan, I can go in a pit too
- Big Orson Welles fan, as well as John Ford but I cried 3 times while watching Armageddon, weird right ?
- Worked for the Cannes Film Festival in the International Feature Films department since 2008, now applying for film festival in Canada and the US
- I fell in love with NOLA! I try to second line everyday...
- I had an instrumental heavy rock band called Yeah Right!!!
- Love to travel, love to listen to people stories

PHILOSOPHY

Read Bukowski's poem Roll The Dice or listen to Sam Cooke Bring It On Home To Me. :-)
