Anoraak "Figure'"
directed by Simon Savory (2017)
ANORAAK:
"In the first place, I didn't really know what to expect. I didn't know the director, he came to me and walked me trough his concept. I liked the idea and had a good feeling about it, so I said yes and I don't regret it! Such a beautiful and meaningful work, and these dancers are incredible."
Anoraak "Behind Your Shades" (2014)
Directed by O.S.A.K.A.H (Samuel Kapersky & Thomas Delebecques)
"For this one, I'm really thankful to the two directors, who did an amazing job putting all this together with very little money. They managed to get a complete film crew, and the real challenge was having two different locations to shoot, Paris and Brooklyn."

directed by Ben Chadourne (2013)
"I had this idea for a really long time, shooting a skater riding at night. Good friends of mine are in the skate/surf party, and got me this amazing skater, as well as a truly gifted cameraman/skater. It was all shot in one night, and it was really fun to do."
