Barges Henri

Bio

At age 45, Henri Barges has reached a rare maturity (even if he can be a real child sometimes).
He has been directing short movies since he was 20, and commercials since he was 25.
In 1993, he directed an almost underground feature movie : ''Half Spirit'' which has won many awards in US (underground New York Festival, Chicago, Sundance, Houston...)
''I have never done anything else than direct movies.''

Starting with violent commercial movies leads him to be seen as a trash director and allows him to win his first golden lion in Cannes (for amnesty international).
He later developed a passion for special effects and became an ''image'' and action director.
As he did not want to be too easily classified, he started directing second degree comedies and automobile films.
Curious by nature, he can tackle any genre and work on every market.
He is right, as this is precisely what he does !
His dream movie would have to be an action film with explosive humour and impressive visuals.

Dhrey Sebastien

Bio

The young French film-maker and graphic artist, was born in Paris in 1972. Twenty years on, in 1992, with a degree in Cinema & Audiovisual studies from the celebrated Sorbonne in Paris, Seb set out on a film career under the guidance of Claude Lelouch ("A Man and A Woman"). In double quick time, he found himself in an enviable position as assistant director on large-scale productions such as Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables".
Sébastien Drhey having greatly benefited from his initial film industry experiences, Seb didn't lose a second of his time, moving on to write mock TV commercials and short features, and directing them with a friend, Simon. The duo SEB & SIMON was up and running, producing over 2 years six first-class advertising films (Gaz de France, SFR, Philips, etc.), and several short features, highly praised within French advertising industry circles.
Then just as quickly, encouraged by advertising agencies to experiment in more original directions, the two film-makers decided to split up, each setting forth in a solo career. It was a friendly break-up, and just before, in 1998, together they won the highly coveted "TV" First Prize, awarded by the Club of Artistic Directors. Two years later, in 2000, Seb won for the second time, and on his own this time, the "Videomusic" First Prize of the Club of Artistic Directors, with an animation film that he made entirely alone from home! From that point on, the way ahead was clear, with success following success. Seb beat out the American film-maker Andrew Douglas in a top drawer competition, with an ambitious film in sequence plan for the brand ORANGE, blending live-action shots with digital special effects. Between 2001 and 2007, Sebastien made around 20 advertising commercials (Citroën, Nissan, Hollywood Chewing Gum, Groupama, Skyteam etc.). In 2003, forever fascinated by photography and graphic art, he created and edited the magazine BAG (Beautiful Address Guide), "the" Parisian fashion trends quarterly. Sebastien Drhey is also an original member of POTAGER (an association of designers, architects & photographers).
