Émilie POTTIER
télécharger le cvJournalist, adventurer, actress, photographer, investigator – or simply President of the Republic… Émilie had a hard time choosing a career path. She doesn’t fully explain how she first became chief of staff for a senator-mayor, then communications director within major industrial groups. What she does know is that since becoming a screenwriter-director – after a midlife crisis lived in Brazil and Argentina – she has never been happier!
Trained notably at CEEA, CEFPF, and the Series Mania Institute, she creates and develops multiple projects (short films, series, and TV movies), mainly in co-writing, navigating across genres from crime to comedy, as well as drama and thriller. In 2025, she co-wrote an episode of Season 2 of Flashback (TF1, Itinéraire Productions) and is developing several feature film projects.
In parallel, she writes and directs around ten self-produced short films, as well as music videos.
And the good news is that, thanks to all this, she truly practices every profession in the world!
