The story behind
Anaïs met Jean-Baptiste Durand thanks to a self-portrait circulating on the internet. He was then writing "Il venait de Roumanie" which would become their first joint work. They experimented with their collaboration and the practice of cinema with several short films before launching the project "Chien de la casse", Jean-Baptiste's first feature film and the second for Insolence. We are currently developing Jean-Baptiste's second feature film: "L'Homme qui avait peur des femmes".
