Résumé
Animating as a Passion I went to Concordia University because their Fine-Arts program allowed me to explore
different angles of animation film. As an artist, I did several animated films using different technic. I enhanced
my Bachelor by studying abroad in Paris at the Beaux-Arts. There, I specialized in story telling which led
me to publish my first comic book. My graduation film, Éloïse, little dreamer, was presented in more then 40
festivals. My film won the Poland’s embassy visual art competitions organize for the anniversary of the fall
of the Berlin wall. I also won the best-animated film of New York City international film festival, the Rhode
Island international film festival as well as 4 other festival awards. I am presently working on a documentary
about children abduction and prostitution in Los Angeles. I am a filmmaker who directs and animates and I
am an artist who enjoy doing multitasks on each project I undertake. Through my art I hopes to tell relevant
stories where characters development affects the spectators. Moreover, during my studies I also revived the
old student association and was elected president for two consecutive years. I created and organized events,
workshops, and talks for the animation students as well as collective projects to promote their artworks. I also
established connections with highly esteemed animators like Frederic Back and Koji Yamamura and brought
them as guest speakers for the students. Beside school, I volunteered and collaborated with fellow student
Yoshino Aoki for a special screening, which raised $5,000 to help Japan after the 2011 earthquake. I made
presentations in high schools for students with learning disabilities. I also made a last homage to Frederic Back
by donating 2000 little trees to schools with the help of the UNESCO. Finally, I received from the Concordia
University the “Outstanding contribution award” for my involvement in the community.
