Administrative and Planning Coordinator at TV5MONDE & Independent Producer of Fiction Short Film

France

About

After graduating from both a French and an American business school, I have built several years of experience in the film and television industry, developing strong artistic, administrative, organizational, and communication skills. As a production coordinator, I support producers and oversee projects from artistic, logistical, and financial perspectives, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the entire audiovisual production process. My occasional roles as an assistant director on TV sets have further strengthened my ability to communicate effectively and collaborate within fast-paced production environments. In 2021, I co-founded Big Fish Productions, a production company dedicated to discovering emerging talent and supporting them in producing their first short films. For the past two years, I have been working at TV5MONDE, where I supervise the administrative aspects of all foreign correspondent journalists. My responsibilities include managing HR-related matters such as contracts, overseeing financial processes including expenses and invoices, and assisting in the supervision of the news department’s overall budget in collaboration with my management. Having spent two years in the United States, I am fluent in English, both written and spoken.
