A filmmaker of French origin, they began their creative journey at the age of 12, experimenting with storytelling and video production on YouTube. After relocating to Toronto, they gained widespread recognition during the covid-19 pandemic when their visual effects work on TikTok went viral, amassing over 32 million views and 130,000 followers, establishing them as a distinctive voice in digital filmmaking.
Building on that momentum, they cultivated a dedicated cinema audience through film reviews on Instagram, showcasing a deep and analytical passion for the medium. Since enrolling in their first year at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), they have directed and produced multiple award-winning short films spanning formats from fast-turnaround 48-hour challenges to fully realized international productions.
Beyond their own filmmaking, they are committed to uplifting the broader independent film community. They founded the Friends and Family Film Festival, a platform dedicated to spotlighting emerging filmmakers, and created the Over a Meal web series, a showcase for independent voices in cinema.
