Directing
A commercial director for 15 years, Thibault Mombellet writes and directs around ten award-winning short films, some of which have been broadcast on television (OCS, Canal+, etc.). His latest film, L’Anniversaire (The Birthday), was a finalist at the Nikon Film Festival in 2024, and will also compete at the Liège Comedy Film Festival and the Très Courts International Film Festival in 2025.
