Director Biography - Pauline Picard

I am a French actress, director and editor. Trained in Clermont-Ferrand and Lyon Drama Conservatories, I gratuated Drama Bachelor in 2017. I also graduated a Higher National Diploma in editing. It's a love for rhythm that drives my two passions: editing and acting. Being in front of and behind the camera perpetually feeds my two worlds.

I directed short movies as :
- 2023 : Oorworm
- 2023 : PotosBoost (BuddyBoost)
- 2021 : Pizza Volante (Flying pizza)

Since one year, we created a group of short films with friends: Les 4 en Plastique (The 4 in plastic). And since then, we write, we search, we create!

Director Statement

It's been several years since I went on vacation, or one weekend per year with friends. Systematically on social networks, I see the photos of all those who were on holidays. This has often created frustration, feeling left out, as if there was a normality that I was not part of, as if I had to prove to others that I was interesting.

But not everyone has the financial and material means to go on vacation. It is a luxury. Not only financially, but also for example: Not having anyone to go with; Not being able to take the step of going alone, or not having the desire to do so; Making the choice (or not) not to start a family and seeing your friends go as a couple or with their children; Giving yourself body and soul to your work and forgetting about yourself; Falling ill; Getting old.

From this feeling of loneliness, I said to myself that some people would be able to make money with it, especially with social networks which are at the height of business. Because we make money at all costs under false pretenses.

I wanted to show characters all more alone than the others who end up sharing together because they are whole and willing to show their flaws.

Because there is nothing better than not pretending.
