About the director:
Rémy Masséglia, born in 1980, has always followed his heart, and the flora, fauna and stunning landscapes of France’s Valley of the Roya-Bévéra are his inspiration. Passionate about nature, his artistic eye and storytelling skills merge to create this, his first film, which is a sensitive portrait of a child’s discoveries of the beauty and dangers in the natural world.
Rémy wrote his first book, Merveilles en Roya-Bévéra, published by Baie des Anges in 2007. In 2008 he created his own agency, Lez’Art Création, and the following year released his second book, Secrets de pêcheurs. At the age of 30, he released his third book, 137 grammes sans gravité published in July 2021.
