A whopping sixteen features into his filmography, the filmmaker teamed with producers Sylvie Pialat, Benoit Quainon and Bruno Nahon while reuniting with cinematographer Christophe Offenstein on La Tour d’Assitan (Lockdown Tower). Production began in April of 2021 in Paris with Angèle Mac, Clément Penhoat (aka Hatik), Ahmed Abdel Laoui and Kylian Larmonie.…...
