🧑‍🎤 Bio:
David Laurent has dreamed of acting in films since he was 5 years old. Very soon, with his parents’ camcorder 📹 , he’s going to ask his friends from middle school and high school to do sketches, enough to get his feet wet. He participates in theater 🎭 as a high school actor, and sometimes as a co-director, and attends the Cours Florent.
Given the difficulty of getting roles, he gradually bought himself better material 🎥 and made his own shorts. Until, in 2023, he created his TOTALART audiovisual and theatrical production association, made some fifty short films, selected at 50 festivals 🏆, won a dozen awards in two years, and even co-directed a feature film with Emmanuel Karsen, French voice of Sean Penn and Norman Reedus.
Today, he’s trying to continue directing/producing with three times nothing 💡, already by writing 3 feature films ✍, and also learning the job of producer to finance his next projects.

As a result, it’s obvious that David has some tricks up his sleeve 💬 to offer you a talk on how to prepare a self-produced project with little means 💸, he whose none of his shorts, or even features, exceed a budget of 1,000 euros. And he’ll be talking to you about it for 30 minutes!
