Engagements

With each project, I bring over 15 years of experience, contributing at every stage: from writing to directing, including production and acting.

Supporting a creative project means protecting its peculiarity,

reinforcing its unity, and helping imagination resist standardization.

It is a creative partnership,

not just a technical review.

Testimonials

“In preparing my talk, Marie-Cécile guided me exactly to the place I had not yet dared to go: my true voice.

With a gentleness that never compromises and a presence that sees clearly, she helped my words resonate with who I truly am. Gradually, tensions fell away, distractions disappeared, and something within

me straightened and took shape. Thanks to her, I now stand freer, more aligned,

and fully embodied in the expression of my deepest convictions.”

BÉNÉDICTE CRUCIS | FONDER OF MEETWIZ & CO-FONDER OF TRUST. FOR GOOD

“Marie-Cécile has been a key collaborator on numerous projects, where her work as a director or image-based artistic director has consistently stood out for its professionalism and creativity. Her ability to identify the right references and define a relevant artistic direction has given each programme a strong visual identity, while also facilitating buy-in from partners such as television networks and museums.
