In 1988 his encounter with Bruno Cremer on the film Adieu, je t'aime directing by Claude Bernard Aubert left a deep impression, marking his first steps in cinema and touching his artistic soull.As a high-level surfing competitor, he traveled the world like a wave wanderer, seeking the world’s soul and, through diverse human encounters, discovering his own.Teaching and certified by the State, he shared his passion, working as a substitute physical education teacher and eventually training in agricultural high schools. In 2018, the BAT40 employed him as an extra in La Source, directed by Rodolphe Lauga, sparking his fascination with film production. Inspired, Lauga introduced him to filmmaking techniques, entrusting him with managing surf scenes. In 2021 He landed the lead role in Donald, a film by Sandra Kobanovitch. Enthralled by the project, he put all his energy into supporting the production and Sandra, who entrusted him with additional responsibilities. This experience became a true turning point allowed him to develop a dual approach—both in front of and behind the camera—to optimize the interactions essential to capturing the cinematic moment. It also helped refine his directing skills, enabling clearer communication with actors. Doing workshop in Bordeaux, he participated in sessions lead by Nathalie Cheron,Jarry, Jérémy Banster, Clémence Brétécher, Vincent Vermignon, and Julien Ivanovich. Two years later he worked with the best French cast directors like Clemence Demontoy, Marine Albert, Mario Touitou, David Baranes, Nadia Nataf, Juliettes Denis. Recently, he completed a novel titled Le Sang, which he plans to submit to publishers by the end of the year. To put it simply, we could say that the ocean’s blood flows in his veins.
