Director
Hope is a 10 minutes short film based on the award winning play Jimmy, créature de rêve by Marie Brassard.
The fragmented violence of war seen through the eyes of a General on his deathbed. A mind accustomed to a life on the battlefield surrenders to a stream of consciousness, mixing death, brutality, and finally, one last gesture of hope.
