J.P. Ferré

ESRA film school graduate (2008), I worked for five years as project manager at SONIA TOUT COURT, a famous French movie trailer agency. Today, I'm associated with IIW STUDIO-LUX, a post-production company, and work for several agencies as a freelance editor, graphic designer and VFX artist. I made trailers for movies such as A PROPHET (Jacques Audiard), PASSION (Brian De Palma), MARGUERITE and THE APPARITION (Xavier Giannoli), THE NILE HILTON INCIDENT and BOY FROM HEAVEN (Tarik Saleh), VERONICA (Paco Plaza), IRREVERSIBLE, ENTER THE VOID, LOVE, CLIMAX, LVX AETERNA and VORTEX (Gaspar Noé), and more recently HAPPENING (Audrey Diwan) and the French trailering campaign for DUNE (Denis Villeneuve) and OPERATION MINCEMEAT (John Madden).Also, using exclusively in-game footage from DCS World, one of the most realistic aircraft combat simulator, I directed 2 short films: TOP GUN: MAVERICK & GOOSE (2020) and THE GHOST, which won the Best Movie Award at the DCS International Film Festival in April 2021, as well as Best Music & Sound at the Action/Adventure Film & Screenplay Festival (2022). THE GHOST is the most-viewed DCS film on YouTube with +5M views.I was co-writer and visual effects supervisor on the sci-fi short film ENTITY (Andrew Desmond - 2014), the first French short film to be mixed in Dolby ATMOS. ENTITY gathered more than 80 festival selections and multiple awards. This three-years experience has only strengthened my will to start more personal projects as a director, with stories I want to write.In 2016, I directed my first live action short film, 3:36, which gathered 20 selections and won 5 'Awards' (qv).An animated short film project, MEMORIES AND THE SKY, is in pre-production, and I'm also in the writing process of my first feature film, produced by THE PROJECT.::'J.P.
