- Generative AI
I run video and communication projects from the first brief to final delivery, and I keep my hands on the image: motion design, 3D, editing, colour grading. Fifteen years and more than 350 productions spent bridging what the client wants and what production makes possible.
Selected work
For each film: what the client asked for, the approach, and what I actually did.

Projects
More productions, from motion design to brand films.
A production director who can also make the images.
For almost ten years I co-ran La Mama Studio in Toulon and led more than 350 productions: commercials and corporate films, motion design and 3D, for clients such as Sanofi, BFMTV, TBWA Paris and the Musée Grévin.
I handled projects end to end: client meetings, creative recommendations, budgeting, scheduling, shoot preparation, team coordination and post-production supervision. Beyond the film itself, I help brands with their communication: sharpening a message, coming up with content and adapting it for social media, the web and events.
I know the constraints of production because I make things too: I budget accurately, anticipate technical issues and speak the same language as creative teams. Since 2025 I have been building generative AI into production pipelines to speed up pre-production and prototype faster.
