Woke up in the middle of the night with this very clear recipe idea in my head: Splinter Rice Recipe (20 minutes, easy level) Mix a bowl of rice with a large quantity of splinters that will flavor the dish but that you absolutely, absolutely must not s... Read →

My mom lives in Morocco, so it's not easy to avoid flying. But here I am at the airport for work. And honestly, I could have organized things differently, but everything happened so fast. The success of an offer I put together kind of accelerated my life. Read →

When people used to ask me "what do you do?", I'd always say: "I make films." I never dared say "I'm a filmmaker" because that would've implied I made a living from it, which has never quite been the case. Read →

Something my son said yesterday while we were out walking: "Nobody wants problems. But some people have problems." What could I do but agree? It reminded me a bit of Chevalier and Laspalès' "some tried, they had problems" sketch. Read →

This morning's rain made me realize that some seemingly superficial stress can run much deeper than expected. Read →

Three people recognized me on the street in Paris because they follow me on Instagram . One the night before last, and two this afternoon. All very kind, each time. So what do I do, quit everything? 😅 Read →

ChezFilms is moving into Télé Bocal's premises in Belleville! Really happy with this new place. Especially since I've also changed my pied-à-terre in Paris and I'm not sleeping far from here. Read →

So today, to sum it up: The flotilla bringing food and water to those starving in Gaza has been stopped . Trump warns his military generals that they'll now need to treat the internal enemy (Democrats, basically) like an external enemy . Read →

A year ago, I bought an SSD hard drive to show my movies anywhere. But it didn't come with a sturdy case. So I bought this card holder (which cost an arm and a leg) at the stationery store. Read →

When I walk on the beach holding something in my hand, there's always a crazy (but happy) dog who runs toward me and asks me with his eyes: Hey, what's that? Is it a ball? Is it a treat? Is it a rock? Is it for me? Never mind gotta go bye! Read →
