Biography of the Director/s
Charlène, an explorer at heart, an energetic and self-taught filmmaker, is inhabited by the desire to share her world. After spending her childhood in Val d'Isère and several years abroad, notably in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, she founded her company, Charlie bus production, at the age of 24 to give impetus to projects that are close to her heart. Curious and conscious of the rigour of her profession, she trained in acting at the Jacques Le Coq School in London, in directing at the Astoria Studio in New York and in writing at the FEMIS script workshop, from which she graduated in 2015. At the same time, she wrote, directed and produced several short films and documentaries, all broadcast on France Télevision, including FFREE FALL, OMESSA and ODOL GORRI, which featured in the 2020 César box-set. Her first feature, SLALOM, with Jérémie Renier and Noée Abita, was announced as part of the "First Film" category in the official selection of the Cannes Film Festival in June 2020.
