Director: Jérémy Comte

Biography: Driven by a passion for skateboarding, Jérémy Comte directed his first short documentary, "Feel the Hill", at eighteen years old, landing him a world tour with the Banff Mountain Film Festival. Raised in the country side, and later graduating from Concordia University in Film Production, his connection with nature and curiosity for the human condition deepened with his travels around the globe. Comte is roused by psychological, raw narratives, finding meaningful connections through poetic imagery. Playing over 150 festivals and winning over 75 awards, his latest short film "Fauve" was nominated at the 91st Academy Awards for Best Live Action Short Film.
