Hubert Charuel

Born in the East of France in 1985, Hubert Charuel is the son of a couple of dairy farmers. The young man could have taken over his parents'farm but decides to take another path instead. After studying and graduating from The FEMIS Film School in 2011, he co-writes and directs three shorts. In 2016, he co-writes (with Claude Le Pape, her faithful collaborator) and directs "Petit paysan", his first feature film, half-documentary (about life in a dairy farm), half-fiction (a young dairy farmer tries desperately to save his herd from the ravages of an epidemic disease). Both interesting and thrilling, Charuel's film is distinguished at the Critics'Week of the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, acclaimed by the critics and well received by the public.
