About Awa

Journalist, director, and videographer based between Paris and Marseille, I conceive and direct documentary films and narrative content with a strong human dimension.

With a degree in Art History from Sorbonne Université and a diploma from the École Française de Journalisme, I honed my vision at TF1, Groupe Canal+, and France Télévisions.

I assist brands, institutions, media, and entrepreneurs in creating embodied stories: author documentaries, portraits, brand content, and societal or cultural projects.
My approach combines journalistic rigor with cinematic aesthetics to produce content that is credible, engaging, and memorable.

Versatile, I master the entire production chain—from editorial development to editing—and adapt to all types of projects, even on tight budgets, without ever compromising quality or impact.

If you are looking for embodied, emotional, and engaging content, I can produce it independently or with a team according to your needs.

Experience

    CULTURE
    December 2025 - December 2025
    Paris, France
    I supported La Maison, a social dinner club bringing together creatives and chefs in exceptional locations, for its first event.

    The objective: to capture the essence of the project beyond a simple report. I documented the entire process—preparation, set design, behind-the-scenes, and dinner with 26 guests—to convey the atmosphere, intention, and immersive experience offered by the creative agency.

    Produced entirely independently (filming, editing, and post-production), the production combines a documentary approach with an aesthetic vision to enhance both the culinary universe and the human dimension of the event.

    Deliverables:
    • 1 storytelling film (1 min) embodying the identity of La Maison
    • 1 event recap video (1 min)
    • 3 short formats (30 sec) dedicated to the atmosphere, cuisine, and backstage,

    FILM AND AV
    January 2025 - September 2025 (8 months)
    Boulogne-Billancourt, France
    I directed two feature-length documentaries from start to finish for TF1 Production, within the Documentaries and Magazines department.

    My responsibilities included writing synopses and constructing the narrative for the projects, preparing and conducting shoots, as well as editing and post-production.

    During filming, I conducted interviews, coordinated reenactments, and supervised the entire project in collaboration with the editor-in-chief, cinematographers, and editor to ensure coherence, narrative, and visual impact.

    FASHION AND COSMETICS
    December 2024 - February 2025 (2 months)
    Paris, France
    Through my company Oroka Studio, I assisted the brand Alter Designs, founded by Pauline Ducruet, for its return to Paris Fashion Week.

    Over several months, we documented the behind-the-scenes of the Chrysalis collection: from fabric sourcing to the final adjustments before the show. The goal was to tell the story of the brand's evolution through a 5-minute documentary, conceived as an immersive film at the heart of the creative process.

    In parallel, we designed and produced several short formats (lookbook, backstage, product focus, documentary excerpts) for the brand's digital communication, in order to create a coherent narrative across all its social media platforms.

    Role: editorial conception, direction, and content production.
