His career includes collaborations on major works such as Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis, At Eternity’s Gate, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and the TV series Sambre. A graduate of Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, he combines a deep cinematic culture with active professional involvement within the AFR and CST, where he also serves as VHSS (Sexist and Sexual Violence Prevention) representative.

Known for his interpersonal skills and efficiency, David Thooris approaches his work with passion, often reminding that "you can make a film without a camera - but you can’t shoot without coffee."
In a way, David Thooris is the backstage conductor: he ensures every logistical instrument is perfectly tuned so that the symphony of production unfolds without a false note.
