Biography
Born in Paris, from Castifao in Corsica, she spent her childhood and teenage years living between the Caribbean and Guyana, south America. Upon returning to Paris, she spent her time as a journalist, between Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
For the launching of Arte France, she oversaw the production of music magazines Megamix, under the artistic direction of Martin Meissonnier, before going on to produce for TV8 Mont-Blanc, one of the first local channels.
Staying within the field of production, she veered towards writing and directing, attending the Geneva School of Art and Design, HEAD, within the Cinema and Multimedia department, in order to study classical and experimental screenplay, art films, documentary writing, sculpture, photography, drawing and ‘happening’. She would graduate with a degree as writer, director.
With Isa Productions, she writes, directs and produces many documentary films and short fiction films, including Réflexions and Comme d’habitude, a psychological thriller that was nominated for the ‘Leopards of Tomorrow’ award at the 1997 Locarno International Film Festival, as well as the Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival.
From 2001 to 2004, she was also in charge of developing and producing the satellite television channel France 3 Corse ViaStella.
Living between Paris and Corsica, she continues writing, directing and producing both documentaries and fiction films. Her films are screened and broadcast both in France and abroad.
