David, a film director & photographer, lives between Paris and Montreal. He was lucky to be brought up in a house filled with arts.
his dad, a passionate photographer himself, offered him his first analog camera when he was a teenager (he thought it was too complicated and left it on his shelf for years). HE’D WATCH HIS mother paint watercolour AND OIL CONSTANLY, which led him to take drawing lessons (he forgot about it all, although he once drew an almost-perfect copy of songoku). His older brothers were either making diy shortfilms with a Hi8 camera or playing the guitar (he’d watch the movies on repeat, and got to learn perfectly how to play the main riff of Nirvana’s “come as you are”).
When he turned 18, his parents told him to get a real job in finance or insurances or else, instead of taking the artist path. But David was stubborN (although He should probably have listened to them). He made his dream come true a few years later.
People have been heard saying he had an emotional approach to photography & film directing. His work got some praise for his unique use of primary colors and light streaks with hints of melancholy & dark humor.
David is currently working on his fourth shortfilm, “la relève” (the relief), which was selected at the St Quirin “Ecriture à l’image” Residency in 2021, and his due to be shot in 2025.
