LA FRANCE PROFONDE (2022)
'La France Profonde' is a phrase that denotes the existence of "deep" and profoundly "French" aspects of the culture of French provincial towns, of French village life and rural agricultural culture which escapes the "dominant ideologies" and the hegemony of Paris. This is a documentary about the deepest recesses of France, a place untouched by time, where Michel Bonal, an 80-year-old farmer, lives with his wife Collette, their 2 dogs and countless cats. In this little corner of South West France, time stands still, the outside world feels like another universe, and an ancient, rural way of living has been passed down from generation to generation. The Bonals of this world are a dying breed, and their traditions are disappearing in much the same way that their rivers are running dry. This film will seek to celebrate and preserve the beauty and simplicity of a life untouched by the technology-fueled complexities of the modern world following them on a day in their life.

le devin enfant (2021)
This is a short horror movie I directed for fun while on holiday in the South of France with my family. It depicts a sweet young boy; le devin enfant (the divine child), who is actually a little devil haunting the family. In this film I experimented with lighting, directed my entire family as actors, and discovered that an old French Christmas carol could add a sense of menace to the film.
