I’m a wildlife film director who works for independent production companies, and other major international television channels, France2, France5, National Geographic, ZDF…Most of the time with natural history as the subject matter. Starting as biologist, my experience with nature pulled me towards documentary films, and over time, I am written and directed a number of television series for all the major French broadcasters. Today, I divide my time between directing wildlife documentaries, commercials and feature films. I love capturing stories.

A pair of Arctic foxes, Max and Maya, live in a land covered in snow. They love each other so much that they are expecting fox cubs. Max tries his best to provide for Maya, but it's getting harder. He ventures further and further from their den. And then it happens... Crack!!! A broken ice floe carries him away to sea, far from Maya. Suddenly, both face all sorts of challenges to find their way back to each other and prove that love can overcome even the coldest storm. Their story is about courage and an unyielding desire to be together again before little fox cubs sneak into their lives, bringing a new chapter to their Arctic tale. This playful and suspenseful adventure with real animals was filmed in the far north of Canada, where temperatures drop to −40°C for six months a year, lasting an incredible 15 weeks. The film will delight both young and old viewers and gently explain how nature works.
