  • It was a huge honor that the Paris International Film Festival by Cineverse named my feature screenplay TAKAO a Finalist for Best Feature Script, as I`m based in Japan I would have loved to attend, and will certainly look to in the future, but even from afar the hospitality and communication was second to none, thank you so much to the team or all the work that you do!

  • Here's a podcast featuring an interview with Ambroise Pierrou, director of the Paris Cineverse (formerly the Festival International du Film Fantastque de France) about the festival's editorial choices and behind-the-scenes organisation... for a better understanding of how and why the festival is put together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0DDuvySLEI

    Merci pour le prix du meilleur long métrage international attribué à 'Voyages en têtes étrangères' (Travels inside foreign heads) ; merci pour l'accueil réservé à l'équipe du film lors de la cérémonie de clôture et merci pour l'organisation de ce festival !

    Thanks to all the team of the Festival du Film Fantastique de France! I've been honored to be part of it as one of the selected short-films in the 2022 edition.
    Merci à tous et j'espère que le cinéma de genre va continuer à se développer en France!

    It was a huge honor that Le Festival du Film Fantastique de France enjoyed my simple fairy tale Cascadia and named it a Finalist for Best Feature Screenplay. Although I was not able to attend in 2021, rest assured I will be there in 2021. The organizers were most gracious and from what I saw I know I missed out on a good time. Thank you for doing what you do!
