About Mikael

Back in France after 10 years in Canada, between Montreal and Vancouver, I return with several years of experience in production, directing, and project coordination. And a few frostbites from vigorous winters.
I am now offering my services in the fields of audiovisual project management, post-production, and English-French translation.
My background has allowed me to acquire multiple skills, whether in the field 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 specialize in:

- Project management and coordination
- Assisting with directing, production in pre-production, shooting, 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 pleased to accompany you on your projects.
