Thierry Pasquet

Storyteller. That's probably what defines me best. My university degree in Economics became interesting when I finally glimpsed human adventures behind the statistics: brilliant economic epics, harsh financial failures, bold innovations, and resounding commercial misses. However, when I found a camera, it was the story of a river I wanted to tell. "Rives secrètes" opened the doors to a young national channel that wanted to make room for local stories: I télé (now Cnews). By covering French and international news for I-Télé and Canal+ for 15 years, I found the narrative I wanted: to show by telling, to tell without betraying. I also refined my "Swiss Army knife" style. As a cameraman, writer, editor, director, photographer, author, sound recordist, and lighting technician, I had to acquire ever-increasing skills in not always ideal economic conditions. In short, I was a "JRI (journalist-camera operator) then Senior Reporter (since 2003) for 20 years. For French reportage magazines such as L'Effet Papillon on Canal Plus, Envoyé spécial on France 2, or Capital and Enquête exclusive on M6, I met the most extraordinary people in the least recommendable places on the planet. And I loved it.

Today, I'm returning to my Périgord roots and the promise of new adventures: I still have the same desire to tell today's stories, those that mix economics and business, team adventures and the freedom to undertake: the stories of all our lives.
