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.
