In 2017, the idea of the project "Vortex, the dawn of sovereignty" germinated, a first feature film this time which combines Science Fiction with awakening. "My first short film was an essay but its success took me to new horizons. The basic idea of Vortex is to highlight the fact that our History lives in loops and that from this observation we can to ensure that certain things do not happen in our future. For example, it is interesting to note that most revolutions result in freedom-killing laws. little by little we are real machines formatted to think and act.If we have a partial or even distorted view of reality through our senses and our conditioning, Humanity takes a guided course which can call into question our freedom referee.

You can waste a lot of time and energy by refusing to change your mind.That's what making a film: directing with two pieces of string, a good light, a good angle of view, a good rhythm and a beautiful music. I have neither the budget for a Star Wars, nor the experience of 20 years in special effects for example. I am not a conductor either, but I know where I need to go, no matter what means of transport I am going to use. I know my qualities: perseverance and a lot of patience.
