Just Don't Think I'll Scream
Producer
January 2016. The love story that brought me to this village in Alsace where I live ended six months ago.

I am lost and I watch four to five films a day. I decide to record this stagnation, not by picking up a camera but by editing shots from the stream of films I watch.
