Léo Boudet
After a childhood immersed in the artistic world, he directed videoclips for his label and his music group, which allowed him to join the production company Prelight Films. He worked on ‘Bandes Originales’ for almost 10 years, a documentary series on film music composers awarded at major festivals in France and abroad (Cannes Film Festival, American Cinematheque, Telluride, etc.). There, he acquired a wealth of experience in all areas (cameraman, editor, production and then director) while working on his two passions: music and cinema. ‘The Hills of Wrath’ (2025), his first feature-length documentary, had its world premiere at the Millennium Docs Against Gravity in Poland.
