Writer/Director, Actress
French/Japanese. London, Tokyo, Paris.
Writer/director: Selected for the Sundance / NHK lab, the Berlinale-ran Talents Tokyo and the BFI x BAFTA crew program. My latest work, the doc “Tears Teacher”, screened at Sundance and Hot Docs and was acquired by the New York Times. My feature in development received the main award at Busan film festival’s Asian Project Market - following in the footsteps of Hou Hsiao Hsien, Kurosawa Kiyoshi and Bong Joon-ho to name a few.
Actor: I've worked both with both indie darlings (Koji Fukada, Naomi Kawase) and on national hits (Death Note, Never Let Me Go, Zack Snyder-produced Army of the Dead).
Feed me cheese and I'll be happy.
