Right up until she was 12 years old, when asked what field she wanted to later work in, Marion answered with "atmospherist," thus expressing her desire to help create these moments of escape, these cocoons-like sensations that good movies are made of.
Then, an inspired and inspiring French teacher put a camera in her hands, and that was the turning point: cinema would be at the center of her life. Pursuing her dream of creating atmospheres, Marion first attended classes in the technical department of a film school.
She played with light, discovered, explored, touched on everything...and eventually moved for some time toward a directing assistantship. Helping others make their dreams become reality made her happy.
From one film to another, through opportunities, Marion earned her stripes in production and, a few years later, created her own company: The Sight. The first film she produced was noticed by Luc Besson, who bought rights to it. However, Marion didn't meet the filmmaker because at the same time, she was flying off to Canada.
Taking advantage of this new beginning to revive the cinema (she had already learned to differentiate it from the film industry!), Marion organized festivals, founded film clubs and met many people.
Then, she disappeared to raise her son, a period she harnessed to unleash her creativity: fabric, paper, wood, everything was a pretext for creating.
Marion then remembered how much she loved working with her hands. After this rite of passage, Marion found her way-how she could transform words into pictures, people into characters, intentions into emotions: costume design!
Having learned in life how essential versatility is, Marion continues to produce films, but mainly is dedicated to creating costumes for theater, film and television.
