- My 10.000 hours (working title) - feature length documentary film co-directed with Nicolas Koulibale
The film follows two hip-hop artists in Richmond, VA—twenty years apart in age, yet both deeply respected within their community. Over the course of five years, their artistic and personal trajectories unfold: the paths they carve out, the setbacks they encounter, and the hopes they continually renew. The movie explores how artistic practice shapes identity and social bonds, and how these artists sustain their creativity despite challenging circumstances.
- Vert Contre Vert (working title) - middle length documentary film co-directed with Jorrit Smit
In an era marked by climate change, conflicting narratives are clashing as people search for technical solutions. This is how "pioneers" are pinning their hopes on a new, almost mythical energy source: natural hydrogen, the first element in the creation of the universe, clean and infinitely renewable, which could exist beneath our feet. Geologists from around the world are probing the ground in search of this volatile gas. The film focuses on the Pyrenees region, where the first exploration permit in Europe was issued. The film seeks to capture the dynamics between the many actors brought together by this discovery: specialists in the natural and social sciences, politicians, industrialists, investors, citizens, journalists, and activists.
