First behind the scene blog on my Ko-fi page: In the studio with Annabel Lee.
2022.03
I started a Ko-fi page on which I intend to regularly post a « monthly curation » with recommendations for readings, films, music... and blogs on various creative subjects & in English !

Bothlane's new track inspired me with a few lines that he added in the video.
.... Exhausted flesh cementing our souls
.... Convicted cities wrapped around those
.... Panting
.... Still moving And one thing leading to another it gave the title of the song: panting.

We alternatively curate a playlist with Damien called « SOSAD » for « Selected: One Song A Day ». It comes with a short anecdote written daily by one of us
(in English this time). website momentarily hacked, will be back someday.
2021.04
I wrote a few words (in FR and EN) about the making of « More (official video) »
by It It Anita.
2020.10
When the lockdown started two of my friends initiated the project Li(b)re – online sessions during which people read aloud – and from time to time there are specials such as Li(b)re à toi where we can read personal texts. The text « Un caillou dans la chaussure de ma psy » was written for one of those sessions.
2020.09
Here are a few words about the making of the mixtape NAAR SUYU #1.
2020.08
The text « 353,70 la coupe » was the first one I wrote for the Li(b)re à toi sessions. As the other one here above, I think we could say that it somehow comes close to a kind of autofiction mini novel.
2019.04
When I travel I love to take analog pictures and write post cards. Here is a recollection of those remembrances.
2018.00
Here a small selection of articles I wrote for the webzine Causes Toujours : (1) To care or not to care. (2) De l’autre côté des barbelés. (3) Zawya, changer de perspective.
2014.00
I've been a writer and then editor-in-chief of the Drash mag for two years. It's a magazine about skate culture in its broadest sense, from Brussels to all Belgium.
2021.12
I started curating a new playlist for our agency, Julia Camino. Supposedly updated every two weeks. No particular direction except the joy to build it and share songs ;)

2021.06
We’re launching the first season of At this Moment. A new podcast about music and more specifically about this moment in a song that makes your brain explode.
2020.10
I joined the Amour, Gloire & Chips team with Damien, Pierre & Benjamin.
You can listen to our podcast on all platforms.
2020.09
Remember this running joke I've been doing for years now that « yeah I'll soon be releasing my first mixtape called NAAR SUYU » ?! Well that's done now. It was even broadcasted on The Word Radio in Luikster and here are a few words about it.
2022.01
After a challenging and stimulating time on the edit of the documentary feature TRAMADOL, I designed the poster and some of the visuals.
2021.12
To help us book Annabel Lee (a band we manage with Julia Camino) we needed a good live video. I teamed up with Alex and Adrien to shoot their concert at Botanique last October, then did the editing and Mathieu took care of the sound.
2021.06
Crafting At this Moment podcast from A to Z also means coming up with a visual identity. I'm glad Damien always finds a way to translate my ideas.
2021.05
I went to Tunis to edit Morgane Wirtz’s next documentary: TRAMADOL
(more about this in 2022)
2021.04
It It Anita released a new album. This is the result of saying « yes » to « let’s shoot a music video due in 2 weeks with no money » : More (official video)
And here, a few words (in FR and EN) about how we made it happen.
2020.07
While we're all participating in a worldwide pandemic, it took ages to hear a single word from politicians about culture. That's why I decided to edit footages from a concert of Bengal, removing the sound.
2020.03
I joined Bengal – a Grrrl-post-punk band that I'm now managing – with my camera when they hit the studio to record their first LP « shiv ». The studio report crafted with that footage became the music video of the track « You're Dead ».
2019.08
For five years I've been (post-)prod director at GSARA working with a dream team to provide support to young cinematographers crafting documentary films (complete list coming soon). One of the last project is the movie « Teghadez Agadez » by my good friend Morgane Wirtz.
2018
Our desire with Jordi Morató to resume to a more personal approach of filmmaking brought us to the project « Correspondencia » where we sent each other video post cards.
