Paris, France
Since 2018, for the digital media created by CNN Great Big Story, I research subjects, plan them, and then film them independently, in cooperation with producers based in the USA and England. The media was closed in 2020 and then bought in 2022 by the company Why Now in England, whose director is none other than Mick Jagger's son, Gabriel Jagger. So it was only natural that I continued with Great Big Story in 2022 after their 2-year hiatus. I particularly enjoy working for this media because it requires attention to detail, a well-crafted story, ambitious staging, and the results are often of very high quality. Most recently, I have started writing the narrative framework for the subjects I find, in addition to directing and filming. I have about fifteen collaborations with them.
