Young people from New Caledonia’s disadvantaged neighborhoods grow up in the immediate proximity of luxury and breathtaking beauty, sometimes less than five minutes from home, while some struggle to afford even food. Beauty is staring at them from on high, but if they can't have it, then no one will.

biography

I'm a 22-year-old director from New Caledonia. I direct music videos and commercials to produce and direct my own films without funding. In 2023, at 19, I directed my first feature film with no budget and have since been working to help develop cinema in New Caledonia with local youth.
