Director Biography - Rémy LAFAURIE

I am Rémy LAFAURIE, a self-taught filmmaker from Villefranche (12). After 12 years of amateur artistic explorations, I honed my skills at the ACFA Multimedia film school in St Jean de Vedas. Graduating in 2018, I founded SEMALOU STU-DIO to bring my audiovisual projects to life. In parallel with my business, I am deeply involved in the cultural scene of Aveyron, especially with "AVEYRON UNE TERRE QUI TOURNE" and "ATELIERS DE LA FONTAINE," where I share my love for art with the younger audience. Formerly Assistant Director Projectionist (from May 2022 to July 2023) at the REX cinema in Espalion for VEO CINEMAS, I also humbly contributed as a leader/director of extras for the NETFLIX series "All the Light We Cannot See," directed by Shawn Levy. Today, I aim to expand my pro-fessional network and skills in audiovisual production, all while continuing my humble fiction projects, with ambitions to develop professional endeavors such as the "Ocean' Legend" saga.

Director Statement

It’s the story of a young Dreamer, a sailor in search of a better life stranded on a timeless beach. After having regained his senses, he will discover an abandoned place, filled with corpses of different eras.

Visa d'exploitation : N°162.495

Among the corpses, 7 artists, protect around their breasts the pieces of a face. Feminine. These pages will guide him little by little towards his destinies, the pursuit of a woman through time...

This short film is a summary of the main plot of a saga I have been writing since 2010.
Through this story, I express this sensitivity for Art, Nature.
I interpret in a scene the evolution of humanity that has not stopped killing each other despite the
times. While artists protect a better purpose, not entertainment, but a message that reveals to us all that is beautiful and pure in the world.
To unite beliefs by seeking one and the same truth hidden from the beginning.

Writings and testimonies of visions related to previous lives have yet to be answered. Each of us has this «Don», some have developed it more than others, have the calls of the «castaways of
time». Their only and same goal, to prevent the nature of Man to want to control space and time from molecules in artificial wormholes.
More precisely, prevent them from resurrecting the dead at the risk of Temporal War.
Expressing these thoughts, it will allow me to share a new vision of the Universe.
