JE SUIS UN SECONDE

a short film shot and completed in Paris in just 72 hours for the Nikon Film Festival.

Created as a personal passion project, the film was born out of a deeply emotional moment. A close family member of one of my creative partners had been struck by a car and remained in a coma for over a year. During the holidays, as a quiet act of hope and love, we decided to create something for him—a poetic gesture rather than an explanation.

The film, performed entirely in French, follows a woman reflecting on luck and the small rituals of counting—objects, moments, signs—hoping they might bring good fortune. It’s intimate, restrained, and intentionally simple.

Produced, shot, and edited by a three-person team, the entire film was captured on an iPhone 8 and completed end-to-end in 72 hours. Beyond its emotional core, the project became an experiment in creative constraint—exploring what was possible with minimal tools, no budget, and total focus.

The film went on to place in the Top 10 of the Nikon Film Festival**, an outcome we were deeply proud of—not for scale, but for sincerity.
