FICTION SHOWREEL
It’s an all-consuming passion that has drained me for several years, that of telling stories. After having produced and directed hundreds of music videos and commercials, I wonder if it might be time to start developing subjects that have been close to my heart for a long time. Insight, a fantasy project presenting a realistic extraterrestrial accident, but also two other projects being written on police cases inspired by significant events. In my showreel fiction, you will be able to see some shots of the teasers presented to production houses.

Very Useless People Short Film – Production : Whang! Productions – Réalisation : Thierry Vergnes. – 5:48 Mn
Summary: Two terminally ill men, sharing a room at a hospice and both kept alive by a multitude of machines; one has run out of patience and can’t stand his roommate anymore for constantly popping between channels of a shared television – Black Comedy – Sarcasm – WITH ALAIN POINTIER, ÉRIC NAUDET, CINDY GAILLOT, ROCHELLE GRÉGORY
SUPER NERVOUS
With JULIEN VERPLANKEN & GERALDINE ALLUAUME – 4 mn
A treat of nervousness, inspired by events in our daily lives that must have happened at least once in our existence… Initially planned for a feature film adaptation and available as a short series, Super Nervous has the principle of always developing a consequence much worse than that which is at the origin of the « failure of lead » of our hero. You will notice that I obviously have no grievance against Apple!
UN PRINCE EN ENFER
With ADIL LABOUDI & FRANCOISE SIROT – 2:20 Mn
It is in a way the confession of a Jihadist. His rage and his hatred let him spread his venom on today’s society, without filter, his tone filled with disgust. An apparently Maniquean short film, but not on its second reading when it comes to evoking its vision of HEAVEN and HELL. Where does he finally feel better? In Paradise ? Or in Hell?

On the set of VUP, Rochelle Grégorie, who plays the Sarcastic Nurse, told me that she had worked for a few years at the Telephone Rose. She even wrote a collection of very interesting discussions she had on the phone with these overexcited men of the night who masturbate behind their phones. I found his story incredible and almost immediately offered him to play his own role in a re-invented story. A shoot that plunged her back into her true past, for our pleasure…
