Before graduating with a Master's degree in Philosophy from the University of Paris XII, I studied at the National Drama Academy of Creteil and Gobelins School of Visual Arts. 

 

In the early stages of my career, I was assistant director then script doctor for the Danish Oscar Award-Winning director Gabriel Axel before working for many years with world-renowned producer Christian Fechner. My short film, The Autumn of Zao, received 51 official selections and 13 prizes and honorable mentions in major international film festivals. 

 

In parallel, I acted as Art Director at Publicis Groupe for over ten years, working with more than 150 brands, almost all of which are part of the CAC 40 index. I later joined Ubisoft working in 12 studios worldwide as staging and directing expert for internationally known "AAA" video games (blockbusters), such as Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, The Crew, Rainbow Six, The Division, and Valiant Hearts. While working at Ubisoft, I created a unique emotional design tool implemented in the Prototyping Service Intelligence - PSI – Ubisoft R&D cell dedicated to Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) emotional prototyping. 

 

I founded Shamans Films in 2017, a production company and professional training provider, dedicated to encouraging and upholding "responsible business" values and practices. Among my clients are AXA, Carrefour, Sanofi, Pôle Emploi, Orange, Mod Sélection Champagne, TravelClick, etc. 

 

Acting as screenwriter, film director, script doctor and consultant in film and VR/AR/XP projects for clients such as Sony Music, Atlas V, Sens Production etc. I am an expert for organizations like CNC and SODEC giving presentations, lectures and masterclasses based on my emotional stimuli expertise at EICAR, The American University of Paris, World VR Forum, Atelier Grand Nord VR, Hub Montréal, and Conservatory Regional Influence Marcel Dadi among others. I also teach Master's students at the Institute of Internet and Multimedia (IIM) at the Léonard de Vinci University Center in Paris.
