Laurent Joffrion
Director Producer
I grew up in the french countryside and I have always been fond of nature. But it is really when I moved to Australia, in order to study multimedia and digital tools, that I first experienced the idea of wilderness. My journeys have forged a strong connexion to our planet’s natural heritage ever since. The relationship that unites man with his environment definitely inspires me to tell stories that highlight the value of biodiversity and the commitment to the conservation of nature.
I have worked with several film producers and television channels, in France and abroad, and some of my films achieved worldwide recognition at national and international festivals. Besides this documentary work, I have created a development structure, named FollowFocus, allowing me to explore new narrative forms and media vehicles. On one hand, FollowFocus collaborates with broadcasting platforms, institutions or associations; on the other hand it initiates creative projects, thanks to a participatory approach. Writers, photographers, editors, graphic designers or digital imagery technicians can share abilities according to the subject.
