In 1992, he accompanied Benoît Poelvoorde’s band and their film C’est arrivé près de chez vous to the Cannes Film Festival. It was also at this time that he met photographer and future filmmaker Benoît Mariage. These encounters inspired an irresistible desire to embark on his first film project with the “faces” of his entourage. The result? A quirky road-movie, ” La chanson-Chanson” (2002), followed by ” Mon Cousin Jacques” (2004), which went on to win numerous audience awards.
After four short films, he embarked on a feature-length adventure with Jacques a vu, released in 2015, starring Christelle Cornil, François Maniquet and Nicolas Buysse. At the same time, he writes daily for the satirical radio show Votez pour moi on Bel RTL. In recent years, he has also produced and written actor Vincent Pagé’s “seuls en scène”, often programmed at Liège’s Comédie Centrale. On the film front, he has returned to the short format. His last three films, Tonton Maurice (2021), Le Petit Prodige (2022) and the already-cited Domicile fixe, were all selected for competition at the FIFCL, to which he warmly thanks for his loyalty.
