- Producer
- Second Unit Director or Assistant Director
As a Link din study learn us, little girls wanna be teachers, doctors, journalists, lawyers or veterinarians. Me, when I was young I wanted to be the president of France. I never wanted to be too ambitious neither so as soon as I was in front of my friends or teachers at school, I would say that I wanted to become a CEO. When I was Eight my father bring me to the theater for the first time. It was Luc Besson's "The big blue" and it was a huge revelation. So since this moment every time someone would ask me what I wanted to become, I would answer Roseanna Arquette.
So Naturally I went to this expensive actors school and I did castings and highly not recommended meetings #metooo. I quit quickly this way of behave. I was not into the failure and to be dependent of the desire of others . I wanted the power (President, president, do you remember...) So I wanted to direct and as soon as I am graduated get into film school at la Sorbonne. Theory was good but I needed more action. After being a trainee in a production company and offered a job I wanted the shield. My dream was to be on set. I was looking forward « Roll sound » « roll camera » and even « Where is my coffee » if it had to be.
With lot of work and a luck I became a famous assistant director. I traveled and work with very inspiring and famous directors who became my mentors . From Dany Boon till Clint Eastwood crossed by Christopher Nolan and Luc Besson, I learned to adapt, I learned a lot, And I finally get where I belong. Ending with Gossip Girl when I met Alain Goldman (la vie en rose Oscar winner) . Eventually he proposed me to join Légende as head of his France and international development .Me, in an office?I finally I accepted the challenge. I found Les Gamins and the connection. Since then things are moving really fast as a revelation. Alain and I are very surprised.
Together, we signed Alexis Michalik and his Edmond,based on a pitch. He was not famous at all and wanted to do the french Shakespeare in. We signed Kheiron, the Palmashow, and Laure de Clermont Tonnerre. She would get to the Sundance lab later on.I became a bulimia of culture and project . I wanted to know everything that was been done creatively in France and internationally. Stand up, shorts, books, comic book, etc. I found out that really fall in love for that before as founding a story, the talent to attached, the book or the play that will make me fall in. Ironically , I didn't want to be a doctor like my girls friend but became a midwife.. sort of . I will never forget that those babies , films, they belongs to their daddy (writer directors ) but most of all to the Public.
At some point, My last year at Légende became frustrating. All those films that I felt to be the godmother, I wanted to be involved in it outside my office : for the first word, the first teeth and all the tests on their way before the world wide release. I finally joined Together studio and Blackpills founded by Xavier Niel as a producer on 13 series features of 10x10 minutes in English. I am from A to Z on the films - Writing, shooting , editing, release - And get massive talents coming on board as Louis Letterier, Edouard Pluvieux, Jan Kounen. And in the same time found my company Daïdaï films
