Projects
This page showcases diverse short documentary-style projects I directed these last few years (self-funded or commissioned by clients). It's a genre I really enjoy exploring. I also often collaborate with other documentary directors as a director of photography. Find below my DOP showreel :
"Behind the scenes of creation"
Documentary Webseries, 3 x 4min episodes
This webseries explores the daily life of women artists; their work, their doubts, their successes. It was shot entirely in vertical, in the form of very short episodes, destined to be shared as reels on Instagram. Here is Episode 1 :
"Tribute to a Glacier"
Documentary Short Film (experimental), 4min
A musical immersion in the wonderful landscapes of the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park seen through an indigenous lens, to bring us a new vision of the land.
"Le Cluquet : sheltered from time"
Documentary Short Film - 21 min
A documentary about a stopover lodge situated in the French Pyrenees, seen through the eyes and memories of my dad, who's been volunteering there since I was a kid.

"2 years in Canada"
Autobiographic Documentary Short Film, 22min
After 2 years in Canada and a pandemic, I decided to take the old camcorder from my childhood to capture the people I met along the way, and keep a memory of this life-changing experience. A bit more intimate than my other projects, this was my first attempt at a more introspective documentary style. CC: English subtitles available
