Juliette Boucheny is an actor, screenwriter and director who divides her time between projects in France and in Togo (West Africa). She studied drama at the Ecole du Jeu in Paris, then learned to screenwrite and produce by working on the development of various film series created by Groupe Elephant. Perle is her first short film. Inspired by her grand-mother, it tackles the subjects of femininity and desire in the last few days of a woman’s life. This first project received a residency grant from CNC (National Centre of Cinematography). Juliette is currently developing a full feature based on the same theme. Meanwhile her second film project Ativio, which she plans to film in Togo, was awarded the ‘best screenplay’ prize from Festival Côté Court 2020 in Paris.
