I was born in Saint-Malo, France, on August 1995. Creation has always represented a necessity in my life, a way to "save" the world around me, make the present eternal, by capturing it with different mediums : from drawing to painting, including photography and filming. I have lived a very happy and fulfilling childhood, despite a trauma experienced when I was about 8, which will not wake up until much later, during the first year of my higher studies in Paris, in 2014. I was at that time on literary preparatory class for the grandes écoles when I decided to pursue studies in the cinema with a cinematograpic license at the University of Paris Diderot and then a Master in Filmmaking at the Paris 8 University. I have embarked on these cinematographic studies with a very specific idea in mind : making a film about my story, in order, at the same time, to overcome it. The film The age of reason is the result of these years, a film about rape trauma and a way to overcome it by speaking. This first film has represented a real theraphy for me. It permitted to me to make a clean sweap of the past and to open a new chapter in my creation.
