Don’t wake the sleeping child

He is a French-Cameroonian director who spent his childhood in Ziguinchor, Senegal, before moving to Montceau-les-Mines in Burgundy, where he attended school. He graduated in 2015 with a master’s degree in History of Philosophy from Paris IV - Sorbonne. In 2020, he moved to Dakar, managing the Complexe Cinématographique Ousmane Sembène’s movie theater for over a year, and subsequently creating Le Sel Dakar, the city’s only film laboratory. For more than six years, he has directed mainly music videos and commercials. He has also made two music documentaries: one on an independent rapper and another on the last international tour of the duo HER, before the death of one of its members. His passion for cinema and his desire to create fiction films have always guided him. Don’t Wake the Sleeping Child is his first short film.
