About Emmanuel

I am a Belgian Film Director and Producer, founder of the Production company EZEKIEL 47-9 in 2000. I produced mainly short films, advertisements, institutional and corporate films. "The Last Dream" was selected in competition at the "Canne's Critic's Week" in 2000. "Personal Spectator" and "The Last Dream" were selected for Oscar Consideration.
Since 2008 I worked mainly for corporate and institutional films as a Director.

Back to fiction since 2022. with a feature film in development (as a Producer) and a Series (7x60' Drama-Supernatural-Initiatic) as a screenwriter. I hope to find partners in (co) production, finance, distribution.

I love genre films because they appeal to a wide audience by asking key questions about the human kind "Who are we, where do we go, are we alone,..." with excitement, rebellious viewpoint and an extraordinary artistic freedom.

But does Jacques see the Virgin?
