Film & Television

Breaking into entertainment finance isn't just about having the right credentials — it's about demonstrating genuine passion for the industry and showing that you understand where it's headed. I know this firsthand because I've navigated this transition myself. My entry point into entertainment came early, advising one of the major studios as part of my client portfolio at PwC. But when I eventually recruited for my current role at Lionsgate, I was essentially re-entering the industry from scratch — the landscape had shifted dramatically with the rise of streaming, and I had to position myself accordingly. That experience of breaking in as an outsider, despite having prior industry exposure, gave me a deep appreciation for what actually moves the needle in entertainment recruiting. Today I sit within the Motion Picture Group's Business Strategy & Planning team at Lionsgate, where I work across the filmed entertainment business and stay close to the trends reshaping the industry. I've also been on the other side of the table — interviewing for finance and strategy roles at DirecTV, Disney Streaming, Roku, and Amazon Studios/Prime Video — which gives me a realistic, ground-level understanding of how these companies evaluate candidates and what they're really looking for. Here's what I can help you with: Identifying your target companies and building a focused, strategic list that aligns with your background and goals Building your "why entertainment" narrative — this is a passion industry, and whether you're networking or interviewing, your ability to articulate genuine enthusiasm and industry awareness will set you apart from equally qualified candidates Understanding the business of entertainment — I'll help you develop a baseline fluency in how the industry works, how it's evolving, and how to speak credibly about it, even if you're coming in from the outside If you're a finance professional with your sights set on entertainment — whether you're targeting streaming, studios, or adjacent media businesses — I can help you build the story and strategy to get there.

French actor based between Paris and Los Angeles, with 15 years of experience across film, television and international markets, including France, the UK (Ted Lasso), the US, India and Japan. I have worked across different cultures, industries and production environments, and I understand how important positioning, image, materials and strategy are for actors trying to move forward professionally. Today, with the internet, you can start from almost anywhere. I know this because I started alone, from a small town in the French mountains, with no industry connections, no family support in the business, and no clear roadmap. Over the years, I have informally helped around 50 young actors and actresses improve their headshots, showreels, casting profiles, agent outreach and overall positioning. Some later signed with agencies or managers, others clarified their direction and made better choices for their own path. I do not promise shortcuts, representation or guaranteed roles. Nobody has a crystal ball in this industry. What I offer is a direct, honest and practical review of where you stand, what may be holding you back, and how to move closer to your real potential.

After successfully helping professionals land exciting roles and gigs at Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, OWN, Food Network and more, I now find myself increasingly approached for guidance on career transitions.
