Bio

Born in 1974 in Paris, France, Antonin already has a lengthy repertoire for his age. Over the years, he has developed a distinct visual language that has earned him admiration and respect among his peers.

Antonin's adolescence reads something like a traveler's scrapbook with an eclectic collection of hobbies - a library of books, movies and music albums, a brass saxophone, an electric guitar, photographs from around the world, poems written on the move, motorcycles, skateboards, surfboards and snowboards. Fused together as a way of life, they helped to mold and influence his work today.

At the young age of twenty, Antonin got his first job as the Artistic Director of Paris's then hottest nightclub "The Palace." Wanting to also build something of his own, he founded his own production company, Diva d'Hélios. Soon leaving the nightlife behind, Antonin would come to hold positions as cameraman and Assistant Director for various commercials, music videos and documentaries. At twenty-one he shot his first short film in sup8 mm, followed by five additional short movies shot in super 16 and 35 mm.

Today, established and in-demand, Antonin is hired to direct commercials, music videos and documentaries all over the world. Waiting for the perfect script, he plans to shoot his first full-length movie in the next few years.
