Sébastien Maitre

Production Manager for 15 years, Sébastien Maitre worked on numerous feature-films and lived for several years in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). He participated to shootings such as Kim Nguyen’s WAR WITCH, Marc-Henri Wajnberg’s KINSHASA KIDS and Djo Munga’s VIVA RIVA. Through set scouting and other adventures, the idea came up to write GET UP KINSHASA !, a social fable conceived as an anthem to the Congolese’ creativity.
