ZY YEUNG
Producer / Director / Photographer
I am a French guy though originally from Hong-Kong. I am the father of two adorable little mixed-raced. I am shaped by rich multicultural inspirations. The wonderful human encounters I have had during my journey have taken me down unsuspected paths, such as art director in print design, web and motion design. I then taught myself photography, filmmaking and production.
In borrowing the reflex camera of a colleague a “compulsive affection” was born. Ten years later I continue perfecting my compositing and lighting. This is why I don’t believe in fortuitous encounters. Every one of the circumstances that have impacted my life had a purpose. One of them was to transform my passion into my job.
I also believe in the positive influence of authentic narratives. Stories told with simplicity and sincerity will always be the most convincing way to communicate an idea. Through visual medias I concentrated my efforts to transmit inspiring values for humanitarian organisations, companies and brands such as UBER, Clinique, Hyundai and Belgacom. By collaborating with LiquidThread/Publicis, specialized in Brand Content, I also worked on the communication needs of M&M’s, Swatch, Coca-Cola, Samsung, La Poste, Fortuneo and Oral B.
Whether in fiction or reality, conventional ideas or experimental concepts, my strength is to make films captivating and disseminating strong values.

CEDRIC PAULHIAC
Director / Director of Photography
Having been into arts since a very young age I am self-taught in photography and have been making videos for over ten years. Over the years, I have developed an eye for framing and a passion for lighting which led me to study cinematography in film school.
I currently work with several production companies based in Paris for clients such as L’Oréal, Philips, BNP Paribas, France Télévisions, La Poste, PCAS, Icade. I also work with several NGO’s in France and in the United States.
I love to travel, meet people, discover new cultures and learn new things and I’m blessed that my work has given me the opportunity to travel to India, Ukraine, Serbia, Hungary, Romania and Belgium.
I am currently exploring the documentary film world which satisfies me and my great curiosity to life and the world that surrounds me.
My desire is to impact the world I live in by showing a personal interest in other people’s lives, telling their story with love in order to inspire others and share a message of hope and encouragement. I also see my job beyond the camera as an opportunity to bring positive change in life of everyone I meet.
JENNY BASSINET
Production Manager / Script Writer
Immersed since childhood into the arts, I developed my creativity and my sensitivity through music, theatre, song, painting, photography and writing. Naturally, I turned to media, a field where I could thrive.
Being multitasked, I am either production manager or assistant director on productions. These jobs reveal the importance I give to organisation and rigour. I also have the position of script-writer or editor. I love writing and creating stories that transmit beautiful messages. Therefore, I can begin with a blank page and start writing from a brief, imagining an intention and a its universe.
I cut my teeth working at Havas Production, in communication agencies and on corporate work and commercials, but also on documentaries for NGOs. What motivates me is to help achieve projects that transmit great values.
Through my work my goal is to encourage each individual to believe in what makes him an exceptional being. I believe in the potential and in the talent, everyone has to influence the world positively.
