Advertising

From 1991 to 2008, I participated in the search for actors for over 300 advertisements, with Wim Wenders, Emir Kusturica and more.

Teaching

For over ten years, I have been participating in workshops for professional actors to learn how to better prepare for casting. I have also taught at the École Supérieure d’Art Dramatique in Paris as well as in several other schools in France and Belgium.

I also regularly coach professionals to help them with the casting or their self-tape. Occasionally, I also help actors and actresses to prepare for the shooting – my latest collaboration was on the movie The Beast by Bertrand Bonello, in 2022.
