About Mikael

Back in France after 10 years spent in Canada, between Montreal and Vancouver, I return with several years of experience in production, direction, and project coordination. And a few frostbites after vigorous winters.
I now offer my services in the fields of audiovisual project management, post-production, and English-French translation.

My background has allowed me to add several strings to my bow, whether on set as an assistant director or in upstream organization with production and translation project management. These experiences enable me to effectively support you in projects requiring both an understanding of audiovisual challenges and/or linguistic mastery in French and English.

I intervene in particular on:

- Project management and coordination
- Assistance in directing, and production in pre-production, filming, and post-production
- English ↔ French translation
- Translation and adaptation of scripts, documents, and audiovisual content
- Subtitling, transcription, proofreading, and linguistic quality control of your content

From my experience in France and abroad, in various different environments, I adapt to all environments, personalities, and requirements. Serious, yet always flexible and in good spirits, I would be delighted to accompany you on your projects.
