TELEVISION
In August 2020, I joined Bangumi, the #1 independent production company in France, as a journalist and segment producer for their program “Quotidien,” the most-watched talk show on French national television. You will find on this page the different projects I have worked on.
September 2022 – Present
For the seventh season of Quotidien, I have been promoted to become a panelist in the show, and therefore to produce and host my own segment. Called “Le Dézoom,” it takes a step back on the news and current events and uses archives to better understand the world of today. I work by myself with full autonomy on every step of production to make two segments per week, with sometimes last-minute changes depending on the news or the show’s guest. You can find examples of these segments below.
- Segment presented in front of the French Minister of Transportation
- Segment about the long journey to recognize domestic violence in France
- Special segment made following the 2022 Iranian protests
- Segment exploring the evolution of cigarette consumption in France, inspired by American campaigns

August 2020 – August 2022
For two years, I was one of the three producers of “Le Petit Q”, a segment mostly tackling pop culture, entertainment, and American current affairs. While most episodes are comedic, some deal with hard news and serious topics. For this assignment, I worked almost exclusively with content in English. I took care of most steps of production except writing and voiceover. For two seasons I pitched ideas, worked independently with minimal supervision to do research, find and log footage, and more. You can find some examples below:
- Segment about the reaction of republicans following the loss of Donald Trump in the 2020 elections (politics/news/comedy)
- Segment about the media coverage of Christmas shortages (media satire/news/comedy)
- Segment about guest Timothée Chalamet (pop culture)
- Profile of First Lady Jill Biden (politics/pop culture)
- Segment covering the trial of Derek Chauvin (hard news)
- Comedy piece about American vaccine incentive and its media coverage (comedy/media satire)
February 2022
“Zelensky: The Story” is a 52-minute documentary broadcasted prime-time on national television in February 2022. As one of the directors, I got to wear multiple hats and was in charge of research, footage, video logging, translation, overseeing editing, casting and recording voice-overs, and more. I also got to write one of the chapters. Produced in an exceptionally short time (less than seven days with many sleepless nights) with only a few people on the team, this very challenging project was a success, watched by more than 1.3 million viewers, breaking the yearly record for a documentary on French television, with 11% of audience share among 25- to 49-year-old. Additionally, the film was translated and sold in the UK, Spain, Italy, and more, and was rebroadcasted several times around the world. You can find the trailer in English below.
