PANIER DE CRABES
The peacefulness of a remote lake and its fauna is suddenly disturbed by the arrival of a hiker, Stéphane, a thirty-something city dweller recovering from a burnout. Just when he thinks he has found solitude and peace, this mysterious lake turns out not to be as calm and isolated as it seems.

Sylvain Certain, auteur et réalisateur depuis plus de 15 ans, est tout autant passionné par le travail technique de l’Image, que par celui artistique de l’Écriture et de la Mise en Scène cinématographique.
Durant sa jeune carrière, il a expérimenté divers postes, de la préparation de tournage à la post-production. Il fut ainsi directeur de production, électro, machino, cadreur, chef opérateur, monteur et truquiste. Cette polyvalence lui a permis de se lancer dans la réalisation avec de solides bases et de produire ses films avec peu de moyens. Plusieurs de ses films courts autoproduits ont eu l’honneur d’être sélectionnés dans de nombreux festivals internationaux. Certains y ont également remporté des prix, comme notamment les mini-métrages T’es un bonhomme!, Cercle Vicieux ou BlackOut, ainsi que son premier court-métrage professionnel Première Nuit.
En parallèle, Sylvain est en écriture de son premier long-métrage et de sa première série.

Sylvain Certain, author and director for more than 15 years, is just as passionate about the technical work of the Image, as about the artistic work of Writing and Cinematographic Staging.
During his young career, he has experienced various positions, from filming preparation to post-production. He was thus production manager, electro, machino, cameraman, cinematographer, editor and special effects maker. This versatility allowed him to embark on directing with solid foundations and to produce his films with few means. Several of his self-produced short films have had the honor of being selected at numerous international festivals. Some have also won prizes there, such as the mini-films T’es un bonhomme!, Cercle Vicieux or BlackOut, as well as his first professional short film Première Nuit.
At the same time, Sylvain is writing his first feature film and his first series.
