Overview
About Me
I am currently staying in Rio to help me in my researches for my master in ethnography.
Although French is my first language, I'm basically french-english bilingual, and I'm in the process of learning Brazilian portugese.
I'd say that I spend the most of my spare time constructing art projects and helping friends with there's, whether it be participating in short films, music recording, organizing shows and events or simply just landing a hand in the craziest of ideas.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music wise: House, Dub, Bossa Nova, Afrobeat, and always down for a little Doors, Velvet, Cohen or Neil Young, amongst others. I play guitar myself and would like to record more serious projects at one point.
Movies: I like poetry and experimentation in film, and especially when you watch a film and you can tell that the film-makers had a blast doing it. Example: Céline et Julie vont en bateau (1974)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I visited the Amazonia... deep, deep Amazonia. (And will go back).
I'm always filming a little bit and would definitely love to edit down what I've shot in and around the Amazonian forest.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Smiles and conversation, and maybe festa tambem.
