MATHIEU BROCHIER | Movie director
“Few pictures of storm during my childhood often keep coming back to my mind. Driven by this growing passion, I was offered my first camera when I was 14. An obsessional desire to immortalise those brief moments was born and has never left me since. In 2014, I finished my Management Studies and then I was able to devote myself entirely to my passion for shooting. I started as a video maker in events dedicating my particular sensitivity to the music world. Over time, encounters and projects, I improved skills that allowed me to take opportunities in corporate videos, reports and documentaries.
2018 was a crucial year of change, some kind of major turning point in my life, a year during which my passion was confirmed. Always driven by my dedication to storms, I began a long writing phase for films, gradually drawing up the sketches of a project to come : ‘Ascension’.
At the same time, in 2019, I worked with the photographer Christophe Suarez on the movie ‘Timelapse Winterreise’. Then, from the following year, Nicolas Gascard and I worked together on several projects related to storms.
Finally, in 2020, Christophe Suarez gave me the responsibility for ‘Storm Chasers’, a reference community website aimed at people passionate about storms and associated phenomena.
At the dawn of 2021 season, Ascension, which has become my life project, is ready to take off. By now, my skills as a filmmaker and my experience as a storm chaser enable me to hold the camera firmly under the darkest clouds in order to lead this unique achievement, entirely shot in live action, to the film industry.”
