My Journey Until
Now
I was born in Les Cayes, Haiti. My mother was a nurse, my father was a lawyer, so only I had the imagination to explore the world of arts. I moved away from my native country during my teens, and that created a story of nomading. Nowadays, I speak five languages fluently (French, Haitian Creole, German, Spanish & English), a growing skill that connects my work to audiences around the world, but also gives me a very unique perspective as an artist.
I studied the craft of cinema in San Francisco, a vibrant city, filled with other amazing artists and inspiration alike. Through many collaborations there, I gained as much as experience as I could, developing my film language
My film language is backed by my skills as an oil painter. Painting is my first love as I started drawing before I said my first word as a baby. A single painting can tell a whole story, which is the vision I bring to my movies. I aim to create not just movies, but memories that viewers will keep and develop an attachment to over years.
