Declaration
film director
“I was only able to pay for my film studies and save enough money to finance my short films by working as a part-time customs officer at the land border. I didn’t like working at customs and it’s a part of my life that I hid from my fellow filmmakers for a long time. This first film is therefore an opportunity for me to return to this very singular experience that was my years as a customs agent who dreamt of making films. In all humility, Le bruit des moteurs allows me to shed light on a part of my life that I’ve long sought to deny.”
