It all goes back to James Bond! In 1986, I was an intern on the set of "A View to a Kill". I quickly earned my spurs. I was assistant unit & location manager on a flagship French production, "La Révolution Française", directed by Robert Enrico and Richard T.Heffron, and unit & location manager on several films, including an episode of "Maigret" directed by Claude Goretta.
I went on to be production manager on Pascal Chaumeil's hit films "Heartbreaker" and "A Perfect Plan". And among my greatest source of pride my work as production manager for Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache's big hit "The Intouchables". Lastly, I have worked as line producer, notably on Elie Chouraqui's "The Origin of Violence". At the same time, I put my expertise to work for Publicis advertising agency and QUAD Productions, with whom I worked over a 12 year period. I've worked on over 200 commercials. I also work extensively in television - as a production manager for TF1 and unit & location manager for Canal +. I've worked on E. Valli's Oscar nominated feature documentary "Shadow Hunters", commissioned by France 2 TV. Lastly, I've been line producer for MAD Productions, notably on the "Lifer" series directed by Franck Khalfoun and shot in Colombia for STUDIO +.
In January 2019, I set up FILMING production services to leverage the contacts I've built up, my expertise as production manager and line producer and my relentless quest to innovate in order to partner foreign producers who wish to shoot in France. FILMING quickly gained the trust of prestigious clients such as Veuve Clicquot, Vans, Nike, EA Sports and QNB Finansbank.
Over the next few years, FILMING will be resolutely focused on modern and socially aware cinema. In 2021, I'll be executive producer for parts of features films filmed in France. Looking forward to 2022- 2023, in partnership with EP Tender, I'm planning to launch Filming Sustain, a range of zero-emission mobile filming equipment and people transportation units. This is all part of FILMING's eco-friendly approach, reflected in its partnerships with ECOPROD and the French National Forests
