The director

GrégoireVion Potel

"Intention dictates form.
When you know viscerally what you want to say, the staging becomes obvious."

Writer-director, videographer, and hybrid technician, he develops an instinctive and radical cinema, deeply fueled by westerns, thrillers, and American imagery. Favoring raw emotion, fractured characters, and uncompromising direction, he combines a sharp auteur's vision with genuine technical expertise in filmmaking.

Trained in editing and VFX, he first forged his experience in the field as a freelance videographer. In 2021, driven by the desire to bring more ambitious stories to life, he founded Badrock Studios. Initially created to provide a solid structure for the development and production of Phasmophobia, his series pilot, the organization quickly evolved into a true creative laboratory.

This momentum led to the direction of several notable short films including Lullaby (2024) and Aqua Fortis (2026) as well as numerous collaborations with other creators. A multidisciplinary artist, he masters the entire production pipeline, from writing to post-production, and readily integrates innovative technologies (such as virtual production and 3D) to bring immersive and demanding visual universes to life.
