script support for new horror project "Regeneration"

Jacques received a writing subsidy (“aide aux auteurs”) linked to a workshop organized by Filmfund and art center CNA for his new project REGENERATION.

The script can best be described as an eco-horror parable that mixes folk tropes with ultra-modern science to create a Frankensteinian tale about grief and the end of our world.

Jacques is extremely motivated to develop the script, which does not yet have a producer attached.

NB. Alongside REGENERATION, Jacques is still developing the macabre Gen Z fantasy LIZARDQUEEN with production house Amour Fou.

"Wolfkin" interview for Cannes Fantastic Pavilion

Mexican journalist Eric Ortiz interviewed Jacques for the Cannes Market “Fantastic Pavilion” (the place to be for genre film during the month of May!) about WOLFKIN / KOMMUNIOUN, touching upon subjects like coming-of-age and good old Hammer Horror.

Eric is one of the prestigious jurors for the Latin American Film Awards category of “Best European Film”, for which WOLFKIN was eligible.

"Lizardqueen" receives development funding

Jacques’s new fiction feature “Lizardqueen”, adapted from the novel by acclaimed Luxembourgish author Tullio Forgiarini, has received development funding by Filmfund Luxembourg. Producer Bady Minck of Amour Fou Films had approached Jacques last year with the aim of getting a fresh look at the project, which she acquired several years ago.

“Lizardqueen” is a film aimed at young adults and tells the story of Mona, a recently deceased Gen Z musician who is sent back from the (very bureaucratic) afterlife to elucidate the manner of her death. On that macabre mission, she comes to terms with the joys and formative traumas of her short life, while receiving help from an unlikely source.

“Lizardqueen” is a young, queer, blackly funny and sometimes gory film that dares to break out in song when it feels like it and asks questions about the meaning of today’s life… and afterlife! Shooting is very tentatively set for summer 2025, after an intense casting process!
