I was born in 1980, i'm a french filmmaker, musician and photographer based in Paris. I studied sociology and i learned to make movies by myself, I've produced and shot two movies: "Hallucinogen Honey Hunters" in 2010 about a nepali tribe of honey hunters who harvest psychoactive honey (mad honey), and "Cobra Gypsies" in 2015 about the gypsies of Rajasthan in northern India. I composed and produced the soundtrack of Cobra Gypsies, it has been released by Universal Music USA (Mi5 Recordings).
My movies are mostly about the culture of isolated tribes, particularly about their relationship with wild animals (cobras, bees), their way to survive in a challenging land and adapt to modernity.
Cobra gypsies is the sequel of my first videoclip "night ghat" where i meet the indian gypsies ("Kalbelyias") and learn how to play the indian castanets "kartals"
My music is made with many different instruments i collect while traveling, i like to play with antiquities or tribal instruments i learn with the people. I also like to use samples and machines, some of my tracks are influenced by Moby, Daft Punk, Prodigy, Air.
