Born in 1979,
Aurélien soon got fed up with French chauvinism and went to spend his 18th year in Sweden.
He then went to live one year ‘Bohemian style’ in Naples where he celebrated his 20th birthday drinking up Cinema History with a pint of olive oil.
After being tired of skipping dinners to go to the
cinema or to buy a record, he decided to find a job that would allow him to live abroad.
Undercover as a French teacher, he became a Whisky expert in Scotland and then went on to be a Vodka specialist in
Russia.
Possibly under the influence of local dumplings, he stayed 2 years in Siberia where he met his wife. After nearly drowning in the frozen Baïkal, he decided to move on towards new adventures.
Having worked enough to buy a Mamiya RB67, a video camera and a good computer, he was finally ready to pursue his dreams- and that’s when he met Cédric Quennesson in China.
After the film, he crash landed in France and now daydreams about swapping his teaching costume for that of a full time film director.
