Guillaume Desjardins

Guillaume has been making short films since the age of 11, putting them on the Internet before YouTube existed. He left Picardy to go to film school. Together with Jérémy Bernard and Bastien Ughetto, they then founded "Les Parasites", with whom they took part in a series of "Make a film in 48 hours" video competitions. In 2014, they won prizes for best film in 4 cities, and went on to win a prize at the Hollywood finals. In parallel, Guillaume gives advice on video creation on YouTube with his channel RougeVertBleu and makes videos for other web creators including Ludovik, Raphaël Descraques, Jhon Rachid, Cyprien, and a short series Une Nuit Au Labo for Gaumont TV. With Les Parasites, he is committed to his creations, including the short film Jeu de Société and La Boucherie Éthique. They co-create, co-write and co-direct L'Effondrement, a series produced by Canal+. At the same time, he and Jérémy set up l'Atelier7, an audiovisual creation residency based on the democratic school model.
