Nicolas Hervoches

An absolute film buff and experienced director keen on technical experimentation, Nicolas moves between short films, documentaries and music videos. In 2004, he co-founded the Brest-based production company Myria Prod.

Steeped in genre cinema and the history of Finistère, he attempts with Le Temps des Morts, a feature film project suffused with pagan stories, shipwreck looting and fantasy, to shape a cinematic universe rarely screened in French cinema.
