B2B Film Director
B2B film director for industry, technology and maritime companies, based in La Ciotat.
I create brand films, customer stories and expert interviews for companies whose expertise cannot be explained in a single sentence.
Shoot day is not the day I start learning about your product.
My starting point
Before the camera rolls, know what your audience must take away.
Your teams know the technology inside out. Yet when they face a customer, the datasheet often ends up doing the talking.
Before every shoot, I work with leadership, product, marketing and sales to define the one idea the audience needs to grasp, the evidence that makes it credible and the right people to carry it. The film comes next.
This clarification work can also stand on its own: for a product launch, a sales pitch or entry into a new market.
Selected work
04 projects
01 · Technology
Editorial mini-series · Cyber Resilience Act
The Cyber Resilience Act is a dense European regulation. I broke it into four LinkedIn films, each beginning with a familiar situation and answered by an expert.
02 · Customer stories
The human return on investment · 4 films
Four customer stories for HR leaders wary of sales pitches. With no script to learn, participants described precise situations, guided by my questions.
03 · B2B documentary
A series of 4 leadership portraits
Four portraits of leaders whose companies dominate a niche market. Conversations prepared in advance, a minimal set-up and no promotional pitch.
04 · Place-based films
Two films for La Ciotat. The first brings a city together around its athletes; the second tells a race through the transition area, a place spectators rarely notice.
Watch the film ↗City of La Ciotat
A cinematic, unifying opening film for the city’s Sports Awards. An audience of more than 500, a standing ovation and over 12,000 views on Facebook.
Watch the film ↗La Ciotat Triathlon
A film designed to keep working after the event. The transition area becomes the narrator of a story for participants, volunteers, future entrants and sponsors.
Client reviews
“David has a rare ability to listen and uncover the story that converts. He adapted flawlessly to the field conditions for our irrigation robot. The result is a business video that truly speaks to our audiences.”
“I have worked with David for more than 12 years. I recommend him for his ability to turn complexity into clarity. He combines creativity with industrial rigour to deliver consistently relevant content.”
“David is my wingman when it comes to producing corporate videos for my clients. The idea is to make the speakers stand out and produce it Netflix-documentary style. David is a core piece to this mission, whether that’s in Amsterdam, Milan or Lisbon. His videography expertise combined with his speaker coaching abilities really makes the difference and helps my interview guests deliver their best performance.”
My method
Your experts know their subject. My job is to create the conditions for that knowledge to reach the screen.
Credibility begins with the speaker. For each subject, I help you find the person with the most direct experience.
My questions focus on decisions, difficulties and concrete evidence: what no brochure can invent.
Return monitor, hierarchy, script, countdown: I remove whatever makes an expert watch themselves speak.
As a Dale Carnegie trainer, I use a precise method to help people improve on camera without adding pressure.
Why me
I spent 27 years in the technology industry, ultimately leading products. I understand long sales cycles, complex offers and the trade-offs behind B2B decisions.
That career involved working with international teams. I conduct interviews in both French and English.
As a Dale Carnegie trainer, I know how to listen, follow up and create the conditions people need to forget the camera.
I am based in La Ciotat, near Marseille. Clients have already brought me to Amsterdam, Milan and Lisbon for shoots.
