immersion

Immersion is a documentary film in French produced in 2021. In this film, I go back to the wild open landscapes of my childhood, on the coastline of la Manche in Normandy. My idea was to meet people who experience the sea on a daily basis, in their job, their hobby, their art or simply in their lifestyle. The film shows 6 different portraits of genuine and inspiring Manchoises et Manchois.

being there

Being There is a short film that I directed where I go on an adventure with my ex-boyfriend, combining both of our passions for Mountain and Ocean. From our preparations to the expedition, the story tells about 40 miles of skiing unsupported across a snowy valley of Northern Iceland in search for remote waves to surf. As you follow us skiing and surfing at the end of the Arctic winter, get an insight of our emotions and the purpose of our adventurous lifestyle.

catch it

Catch It is a short film directed by Sarah Menzies that paints a portrait of me during a season spent in the Lofoten Islands of Norway. I had met Sarah around a beer on the beach (wearing thick down jackets) as she was visiting from the US to make an activist documentary against oil drilling on the coastline of the archipelago. Catch It had a strong popularity in surf, adventure and outdoor film festivals around the world.

TEN TUAMOTU DAYS

So often, the best inspiration comesfromfriends. Not long ago, Kimi Werner and Léa Brassyjoined Liz Clark on hersailboat, Swell, for a sailing, surfing, and freediving trip wheretheyforaged for theirownmeals and explored the true beauty of the Tuamotus. Combiningpowersabove and below the surface, theyhad a chance to share the thingsthatmotivatethem the most—seeking challenge, getting back to basics and stayingtrue to the authentic self. My free diver and spear fisher friend from Hawaii Kimi Werner and I met with Californian sailor and surfer Liz Clark on her sailboat Swell in the Tuamotu islands in French Polynesia. Doing what we love (surfing, sailing, spearfishing), we’ve shared about our convictions and the reasons why we follow unusual paths.
