  • Joachim Michaux

    Passionate about cinema early in his life, Joachim Michaux naturally chose this medium after his business studies in France and Netherlands. For several years, he worked for a video edition company called Blaq Out, specialized in the diffusion of indie cinema. He then worked on more than 200 edition projects that came from every cinematographic horizon (French and foreign cinema, contemporary and patrimonial, fiction and documentary).
