My Story
The Paris-based filmmaker David Guersan was surrounded by cameras and reporting from birth. Inspired by a father who made journalism his life; a creative character who travelled to the ends of the earth in search of compelling stories.
Today David has evolved into a passionate, award winning filmmaker, producing work which has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people and featured by the likes of Fubiz, the BBC, Outside Magazine and more. His first exhibition focused on the captivating stories of Parisian tattooing, a steep learning curve which propelled him onto the production path towards becoming a video journalist.
Since then David has never looked back, he has directed several projects around the world for independent productions. Back in France, David worked for major TV stations like Endemol and Banijay Group. These experiences allowed him to develop his editorial education and use his creative skills within the departments of broadcasting development.
Today he uses his passion and experience to express himself as a Freelance Storyteller Filmmaker and for the past five years has developed several personal projects while working for the big names of International Media and Brands : VICE – ALLIANZ – VW – HAVANA CLUB – COLUMBIA – BBC – France TV – ALJAZEERA …
David’s unique experiences have shaped his journalistic journey and his search for authenticity has led him to the furthest reaches of the globe. David is now focusing on the world of documentary and reports to re-transcribe his point of view in a humanist way.
Through Africa when he made the web-serie portraits “Voluntary return” about foreigners who tried to get back in their countries. A biopic in Palestine about an extremist jewish living in a colony and his latest documentary “CALL OF THE NORTH” shot in Norway, an inspirational film about a french sleddog racer’s dream.
