Fanny Sidney, actress; has appeared over the years in Casting(s), Hard (where her path crossed that of Cathy Verney), but it was her role in Dix Pour Cent on France 2 that fully revealed her to the public in the role of Camille. Fanny talks to Série Series l'émission about her career path, which took her from the Fémis to directing and writing. Having taken on the role of scriptwriter and director for several short films before directing episodes for the series Loulou (ARTE) by Alice Vial and Louise Massin, she is currently working on her own series, Brigade Mobile (ARTE), co-written with Marie Lelong and Louise Massin after directing the series JEUNE & GOLRI, 8×26' for OCS written by Agnès Hurstel, Léa Domenach and Victor Saint Macary.
