Claire Desplat

Born in Brest, Claire spent her childhood in Brittany, by the sea, in Conquet. After her graduate studies, she discovered the world of printing and advertising, before leaving for South America, where she lived for 10 years in French Guiana. Finally, she returned in Brittany in 2009, where she lives near Rennes, before moving to Limousin in 2015. Passionate about cinema since always, Claire is a jack-of-all-trades self-taught who has long interviewed actors and directors for his blog Passion Cinema and organized on Paris evenings on the theme of cinema and short films. Especially during Carte Blanche parties on La Péniche Cinéma in Paris, thanks to the support of its owner Franck Delrieu. One day, she decides to take the step and becomes an actress in a short film, then, in parallel writing, produces and directs the short film Le Palier, shot in Paris in 2008. With these varied experiences, she learns by herself the job of producer and director. Claire writes, produces and directs the short movies Le complexe de Max in 2010 and Oubli, starring Jérôme Le Banner in 2011, both available on YouTube. In September 2011, she launched the preparation of the project Entre tes mains, a medium-length film whose realization has been dear to her heart for several years, as she shot in her village of origin, in Conquet, in October 2012 and in Paris. The film was screened in 2013 during a Soirée Disturb at La Cantada, in Paris, as well as at the Festival de Joyeuse, and is available on DVD. After spending four long years away from sets for medical reasons, Claire launched in 2016 the production of her first feature film, The Sleepwalker, in collaboration with the director Guillaume Bouiges, with whom she had already worked on Entre tes mains.
