Bio:
31-year-old Arnault Labaronne has recently completed his 8th professionnal production, BUG, a weird and wacky adaptation of the fairytale "Sleeping Beauty". In this version, the princess is a prostitute and her 3 good fairies are Drag-Queens ! Nothing to do apparently with his previous productions. Appel d'air is an intimist and poetic drama, Carcasses flirts with snuff movies, Christmas Eve adapts with sensuality a play by Strindberg. Arnault's approach to both subject matter and artistic choices is utterly eclectic. All this results from a self-taught education from the age of 16. Arnault attended a dramatic arts school. He learned how to shoot and to edit, received a bachelor's and master's degree in cinema, worked as a unit manager, an assistant director and an actor... At 19 he signed a medium-length fiction film and at 24, a 52-minute documentary for french television. In 2002, he received an international prize from the Hollywood-based Writemovies society. Production companies owned by Jodie Foster, Michael Keaton, Peter Saphier or Fred Kuehnert and Home Box Office are seduced by his very original and eclectic universe. A first feature should follow...
