Cédric Blaisbois is a French filmmaker, screenwriter and actor from Paris, known for his organic and visceral dark visual style. After graduating in Fine Arts from the Ensad, Cédric work as a graphic designer, blending modern elements with classic design to produce artwork for record labels and French house artists such as Kavinsky. He then transitioned to directing, leveraging his design experience to shoot music videos for electronica acts like Huoratron and Mr. Flash. Inspired by art house directors such as David Cronenberg and William Friedkin, his ability to produce powerful visuals that blur the boundary between reality and fantasy quickly brought him to the forefront of commercial production and promo work across Europe. In 2016, Billboard ranked "Corporate Occult" as the number one "scariest, goriest, freakiest, most intense music video ever." Cédric's experience in mixing a variety of techniques, combined with his graphic design background, has resulted in an exceptional visual palette. His images are fantastic yet rooted in the real world-a filmmaker who pushes the boundaries of creativity to craft spectacular moving images. In 2019, Vice highlighted how he faithfully portrayed the nightlife of young Venezuelans in Nicolás Maduro's country in his first short film, Autocannibalism.
