This is a question I'm asking out loud. Often, I'm in a hurry and I'm not sure the few words I throw down here are of any interest.

I still go often to the SACD Writers' House . To write, to work, for meetings, for screenings. (Authors can rent offices there for free.) The Writers' House, like the SACD offices for that matter, are places where you feel welcome.

I'm blown away by the relevance of my posts 😎. For me, only. I realize two days after posting a video , or three days after adding a note right here, that the content in question answers exactly the question I'm asking myself right now. But like...

That's what I tell myself when watching the latest videos I've posted. (I post one video a day on social media.) I'm getting on my own nerves. That's a good sign: when I can't stand what I'm doing anymore, it means I'm about to level up.

Still rummaging through old hard drives, I found this: It's the poster for a short film project that was supposed to be produced – we had France 2 and a co-producer – but it never materialized. It was based on a true story (?

I think the festival went so well, both in terms of the connections I made and my film, because I was fully present. I decided I would continue meditating every morning, regardless of my schedule. I stuck to it.

I'm going to make a kino (72-hour film) on Tuesday at the Off Courts Film Festival and I have no idea what I'm going to do. This isn't bad news—quite the opposite. When I show up empty-handed, with nothing but my wits, it means I'm confident.

We work in one direction. We fail. We give up. We tell ourselves "this wasn't meant for me, I'd be better off focusing on what I know how to do." But some machines aren't resilient. A single missing part, wire, or gear, and nothing works .

I registered after the deadline, so I couldn't schedule my meetings as well as I would have liked. Despite that, I caught up with friends, met some very nice people, attended some truly enlightening conferences, and had a few drinks—it's been a while.

Keeping a journal boils down to one activity for me: describing the obstacle. Not solving it. Just bringing it to light.

I don't go there often, but every time I do, I emerge transformed.I never read the information: the author, the artistic approach, the family traumas that led them to make ceramics on cows, I couldn't care less. I disconnect my brain.

It might sound like a New Year's resolution, but it's not at all. It's the culmination of a rebellion I've been brewing for a while.Last year, quietly and without fanfare, I (almost) abandoned Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and the like.

You probably don't know this, but for over a year (or a little less, I haven't done the math), I've been writing a journal.Every morning and often several times during the day, I throw words onto the page with no literary pretensions.

I discovered this person yesterday in this video. He's become my favorite human being. (I hope I don't find out he's a scoundrel... Doesn't look like one. You'll let me know.) French only, sorry.

I stopped watching the first episode of Wednesday half way through. (I tried to go to the end, I promise, I even stopped then resumed it). But I want to take this opportunity to tell you what I really liked about Barry Sonnenfeld's The Addams Family.
