Documentary on Auschwitz

"Born in Canada, I moved to France when I was 3. Even though my passion for cinema started very young, I first went to business school to learn to build and manage projects, and to go through the fears that prevented me putting my dreams into action.

My studies led me to spend 5 months in Asia and 7 in New York. I studied hard but never lost touch with my passion: filmmaking.

Finally I indulged… documentaries, advertisements, short movies. A few years of photography, editing, assisting and, of course, directing. In 1996, I founded my own production company: Baleine Sous Caillou Productions.

I have always had a very close relationship with my parents, especially my mother, a designer and facilitator of leadership development programs, who supported and inspired me.

In March 1999, my world collapsed with her sudden death. Injustice, despair, loss. A north star for me, and for so many others, is gone… Her work cannot stop. Her team asks me to become their "orchestra conductor" and to facilitate her personal mastery workshop… I had never done it! I had to find, within myself, untapped resources. First because I had no other choice, and most importantly, because I was not doing it for myself…

I have settled in San Francisco, and I'm traveling all around the United States, even to offshore oil platforms! I support senior management teams, academics, families, and teenagers with seminars, in-house training programs, coaching, etc. Despite a schedule like a dot.com startup executive, I never lose sight of my passion. . . making movies!
