About Aurélie

For 7 years, I have been directing and producing films and videos for foundations, associations, public organizations, and companies focused on their impact.

My preferred topics are:
- mental health
- social and solidarity economy
- environment
- valorization of know-how
- art

I create various formats: commissioned documentaries, portraits, informational videos (shows, reports, interviews, MOOCs), awareness films, and corporate films.

I can get involved from the very beginning of projects: by finding participants for a show, writing a film script, assisting you with writing a MOOC, creating a concept, facilitating a concept creation brainstorm, etc.
Depending on the project's scope, I work alone or with a team.

They have trusted me:
Psycom, Fondation AÉSIO, Fondation Pierre Bellon, Fondation ARC, Musée du Luxembourg, Les Lisztomanias, Les Deux Magots, Novaxia, and many others.

Also a camera operator and editor, I am capable of taking on missions as a Video Journalist (VJ). I am responsive and fast. As a VJ, I have worked for agencies/production companies (Réactive Production, Grand Angle Corporate, Agence Crea Nostra, Sidiese) whose clients included the Ministry of Ecological Transition, the Ministry of Culture, Bordeaux Métropole, Enedis, FCBA, etc.

Passionate about creative documentaries, I also direct long-term projects. I notably participated in the writing workshop at Ateliers Varan, where I refined my vision and my skills in writing and directing documentary film projects.

The daily rate of €600 excl. VAT is indicative: €550 excl. VAT/day for preparation, €600 excl. VAT/day for editing, €800 excl. VAT/day for shooting (basic camera equipment included).
Depending on budgets and the type of structure, I can also adapt.

Aurélie accompanied us during a client meeting. She wrote a script based on relevant exchanges with the client. She understood the client's expectations and translated them very effectively. Thank you very much. I recommend Aurélie to anyone who wants quality work within deadlines.
