Declaration
film director
“Renaissance is a hybrid tale, between fiction, documentary, and a video game – filmed in subjective view. This allows me to create a particularly interesting relationship with the audience: immersive, playful. Just like Abou Hourayra, we learn more about Fadhel as clues appear. I want to put us in a mindset where we constantly want to go on adventures.”
