My name is Joffrey Schmitt. I am a French filmmaker and digital artist. I started my career as an autodidact. My first school was the cinema, where my taste for action and special effects grew. After graduating from high school, I started working as a video-journalist. For 6 years, I directed corporate films and news reports for the news media. At the same time, I made short fiction films, some of which won awards in festivals in France and the USA.

I then left France for Belgium to enrol in a film school. I chose IAD, in Louvain-la-Neuve (near Brussels), because it had a multimedia option. This training allowed me to strengthen my knowledge and to move into the motion design and VFX professions. After 3 years studying, I graduated from the IAD (with "honours"), and went back to freelance work.

Today, the combination of these experiences allows me to adapt to all types of audiovisual projects. I am resourceful and autonomous and I am able to work within a team, or to take responsibility for a project as a designer/director.
