Dylan Besseau (born September 15, 1997) is a French filmmaker[1] and producer born in Vietnam[2][3].

Education[change | change source]

He followed his schooling at the private Catholic institution Saint-Gabriel/Saint-Michel in the commune of Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre. He obtained his general baccalaureate ES at the private high school of Brittany in 2014[4]. Then, he began a university course at the faculty of law in Nantes in 2015,[4] but abandoned his studies to reorient himself to study cinema in art school, after being struck by seeing the film The Handmaiden[4].

Career[change | change source]

In 2018, he studies in art school. The same year, he followed audiovisual internships in various associations, where he carried out some projects in co-production with France 3 Pays de la Loire.[5]
In 2019, he began his career with director Jean-Yves Bilien.[6] He directs the short film The Sozo Girl and Happiness[2] based on the song Like a Blooming Season by Shin Hae Gyeong[7].
In 2021, he created the audiovisual agency Artwooks Media[2] and directed the feature-length documentary La légende de Thierry Mauvignier[1] about the director Thierry Mauvignier, also distributed on Prime Video.[8][9][10] Through this film, he is portrayed as a filmmaker who : "Seems to share with us, nonetheless, a question that he appears to carry finding his more personal voice through a prescribed exercise, one in which he doesn't seem entirely comfortable or in agreement. The result, in any case, reflects this internal conflict, as the film grapples with two conflicting aspirations: the commissioned, marketing-driven objective and the desire of a young filmmaker attempting to bring forth his unique perspective."[11]* Rougeot, Frédéric (2024-01-31). "Trouver sa voie, faire entendre d'autres voix". Le Mag Cinéma (in French). Retrieved 2024-04-19.
In 2022, he created the Wooksart Foundation[1], a charitable audiovisual association bringing together around thirty members that will produce a short documentary film on Rotary International.
In 2023, he produced the documentary The Venus Chained which won the honorable mention at the Student World Impact Film Festival[12][13] then, he directed the documentary Anne Bouillon: Justice pour toutes[1] with the french lawyer Anne Bouillon[14] whose musical soundtrack composed by Keziah Chamsidini, the son of M'Toro Chamou.[15] He will film a scene at the Panthéon (Paris) with the essayist Laurent Kupferman[16][17] This film will be selected at the Justice Documentary Festival,[18][19] he's the youngest producer in the selection of the first new edition.[20][21]
