Roy is a documentary director and producer who dedicates his practice to the exploration of what makes us who we are. What makes us so unequivocally unique — and yet so eerily similar.
In doing so, he tends to investigate the intricate process of building one’s identity, whether at the individual level or at the societal level. Through a slow, compassionate, and cinematic approach, Roy seeks to uncover the motivations behind individual and communal decisions.
For each documentary, Roy weaves the narrative, aesthetics, and sound into a singular tapestry explicitly embodying and conveying the nature of the subject. The aim is always to provide a nuanced, textured, and often contradictory portrait of the subject matter and of the contributors’ personalities.
Roy brings a unique perspective, seeing the world through a complex cultural lens; hailing from the Caribbean island of Martinique, he has studied, worked and lived on 4 continents.
His first film "déyé do bon dié (behind god’s back", conceived for his MA at the University of the Arts London, has been screened at exhibitions, showcases and festivals in Europe and the Caribbean.
