Actor
Simon Frenay
August 21, 1987 · Montluçon, Allier, France
Trained at the Cours Florent, he began his career as an actor, notably appearing in films by Robert Guédiguian and the duo Olivier Ducastel & Jacques Martineau, while also working on international sets and in television.
He quickly shifted his focus behind the camera. His first produced short film, Youssou & Malek, was selected in around forty festivals worldwide and received several awards, establishing a distinctive voice that is both intimate and political. With Carpobrotus, in which he also performs, he continues this sensitive exploration of identity and desire.
