Filmmaker & Screenwriter 97-time award-winning · Journalist & Reporter Paris-based

Born into a cinephile family, she knew she wanted to make films from the moment she watched the behind-the-scenes of Titanic as a child.

Seeing James Cameron on set, she viewed the production as the greatest playground in the world, a place where adults were playing working, yet directing actors with the joy of a child playing with giant toys. She knew exactly what she would do for the rest of her life; making stories and playing, even as an adult. It took years to fully admit it, but the path was clear.

She came to cinema the long way: through literature, the visual arts, and a restless need to tell stories. She chose Arts, creativity over and cinema over a predictable path.

Trained at Sorbonne Paris I and IV, she was later selected as one of twelve students for the fourth cohort of the Nouvelles Écritures series screenwriting program.

Her filmmaking journey began quietly in high school with experimental short videos. Her short film, Ya Hanouni, went on to screen in over 300 festivals across five countries, winning more than 97 awards and playing at nine Oscar®-qualifying festivals.

Today, she works independently across storytelling. And she is still playing.
