Writer Statement

I have spent years immersed in the world of aspiring actors, as the Managing Director of Acting International, a world-renowned Paris-based acting school. In this series, I bring my experience as a director, novelist, and screenwriter to craft a sharp, comedic exploration of the acting world — where ambition often outweighs ability, and reality blurs with performance.

This series is both a love letter and a satire of the entertainment industry. It captures the relentless pursuit of success, the absurdity of show business, and the fine line between talent and luck. Inspired by the many artists I have worked with, it reflects the chaos, humor, and perseverance required to survive in this field. "Acting International" is for dreamers, cynics, and anyone who knows that in showbiz, the biggest performances often happen offstage.
