Christophe Deroo
Since childhood immersed in cinema, sometimes in apnea, Christophe Deroo escapes the everyday life of a suburban adolescence.
Too big to be unnoticed, he develop a dark and nostalgic imagination nourished by references to fantastic literature, comics and genre films.
Sometimes behind a curtain of lightness, his short films are mainly a way to a dangerous and twilight earth. We were also able to appreciate the work of Christophe as head operator in video-clip or advertising, but also in collaborations with Michel Gondry.
Skom is the immersed part of a much larger film project. Shooting it is the first step toward that direction that Christophe wants to follow - like all the ones that have something to tell - no matter what.
