I’ve always loved movies. I rented all the sci-fi movies from my video store before I was 12. I have a bachelor’s degree in cinema. I worked at an arthouse movie theater for almost 10 years. I’ve published dozens of movie reviews.
When making a movie, a filmmaker is always part of a team. Even if we subscribe to the author’s theory, the fact remains that making cinema remains a collective work.
But what if you want to do it all on your own?
One man film crew
My vision of what an artist is has been influenced from my earliest childhood by my grandmother, the painter Mercédès Massé.
In short, when I think of an artist, I imagine a painter who transposes his or her personal vision of the world onto a canvas. One person. One vision. One artwork.

To make a movie on your own, you have to write it, shoot it and edit it. But you also have to play all the parts! How is it possible? With puppets, that’s how!
I’ve always loved movies and puppet shows like Fraggle Rock, The Muppets or Labyrinth. There’s a playfulness that reminds me of my grandmother’s naive art. And you can push the boundaries of this art form, like in Meet the Feebles or Team America.
