Director Biography - inconstant jordan

Passionate about film and video since my young age, it is natural that I entreprised studies in this area. In 2013, I graduated from ESRA (Superior School of Audiovisual Production) in Paris. In parallel I attended coaching courses and actor. I created my association "Tirak Line", in order to supervise my various personal projects. With this, I produced and directed several short films with my team. Finally, these films are shown at various film festivals in France and abroad. Currently I work as a director / Cameraman freelance. With my last 6 movies I total more than 250 selections and more than 80 awards.

Director Statement

I think that the difference is more a force than a weakness and that we must not let go of the ease of prejudices. This is what I want to show through this film is quite simple, as say the saying: "it is not the outside that counts but what is inside".

This story is a tale, inspired by the aesthetics of fantasy cinema. The genre cinema has been part of my references since my childhood, as all my previous short films underline. The fantastic makes it possible precisely to put forward extraordinary characters, by creating real "monster" while echoing our reality. The point of view opted in this story is on the side of monsters and highlights the respect of the difference leaving the door open to all minorities to recognize themselves in the characters in this troupe.

The story and the characters evolve in a surrealistic context, which is specific to the story. Indeed the physical defects of each monster are not in reality. I chose Scotland for the unfolding of history, a land of legend and myth that has always fascinated me, gives access to disturbing landscape that will echo the surrealism of the film.
