Biography :

As a teenager growing up in the Provence region of France, Frederic became interested in film and acted professionally in stage productions in and around Marseille. At the age of 19 he moved from Marseille to the United States.

While pursuing a career in Information Technology on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, Frederic wrote, directed, and produced his first documentary entitled "Amazing Journey". The film, about aspiring musical theater performers, was selected for the Hawaii International Film Festival in 1999.

Having moved to San Francisco, CA in 1997, Frederic moved up in the IT field to eventually become Chief Information Officer for Hooked on Phonics. While living and working in San Francisco, he made his second documentary, entitled "Six String Man," about homeless street musicians in the city.

Deciding to devote all his energy to creating his films, instead of just nights and weekends, Frederic left his position at Hooked on Phonics in June 2001, moved to Beverly Hills, CA and founded Lumière Media, a film and video production company. Since then, Frederic has written, directed, and produced many productions, including another documentary, a children television show, commercials and independent films.

In June 2003, Frederic moved Lumière Media to Point Pleasant, NJ with his new wife Jennifer. Together, they continue to write, produce and direct.
