| Further references | With my production company OUTREMER FILM, I direct and produce investigative documentary films for the international markets, with extraordinary stories, strong protagonists, and an ambition to maintain a long shelf-life. OUTREMER's name comes from the ancient French word that once stood for mankind's pursuit of all things unreachable, for the dreams one can discover only on a journey beyond the horizon of the known world… |
| Preferred place of work | Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and of course the Mediterranean where I used to live for 25 years. I am interested in projects about "risk topics" and in "risk areas" (my resume says what that means). I love my work, I like a challenge and I believe that everything is possible with the right approach. |
