Screenwriter, Founder & Director of Le Groupe OuestFrance
Screenwriter, Founder & Artistic Director of Le Groupe Ouest Following a first life as a sailor fascinated by mathematics and an interrupted Phd in philosophy at the Sorbonne, he graduated from the CEEA in Paris (the French conservatory for film writing) in 1996. After writing and directing a few awarded short films, a Chamber Opera in Paris as well on-stage experiments with a Philharmonic Orchestra in Prague, he co-wrote the 3D animation series Ratz, wrote for independent cinema with directors like Atiq Rahimi or Lucile Hadzihalilovic, and won the Gan Foundation Prize as a writer in 2005.
In 2005, he founded LE GROUPE OUEST in western Brittany/France, a place created by writers for writers in a seaside village. Le Groupe Ouest has become a leading place in Europe for the coaching of the script development phase in residency (more than two thousand writers and filmmakers from all over the world coached in the last 20 years).
Since 2015, he launched a focus on the ideation phase (called Pre-writing), which path of research led him to launch the StoryTANK a European think tank putting together screenwriters and researchers coming from various fields (cognitive science, physiology, anthropology, phenomenology…), in order to open new understandings and perspectives.
