He creates work for young readers, collaborating with publishers such as Bayard, Nathan, and Bréal. For adult audiences, he is a regular contributor to *Psikopat* magazine. His best-known film is *Le Poulain* (2018), a satirical comedy starring Alexandra Lamy that goes behind the scenes of a presidential campaign. He has also directed documentaries, such as *La Disparition* (2022).
