Als je dromen je niet bang maken, zijn ze niet groot genoeg.

Seeing my film generate excitement even before it exists is incredibly valuable, and I am proud and
honored to have this opportunity thanks to the Bernard de Launoit Foundation—especially at a time when cultural funding is becoming increasingly fragile, and producing a documentary feels like an uphill battle.
This is my first film. I started it tentatively in 2016, driven by the desire to better understand my father and grasp the ambivalence between his farming reality and his youthful dreams of being a biker.
While this film tells the story of my relationship with him, it is also a testimony to today’s agricultural world, narrated from a rare, challenging, yet fascinating perspective.
I could never have embarked on this journey without the belief of others, and this award is a powerful push forward to help me complete the film. I am particularly moved to receive an award that honors bold and courageous projects, as this has undoubtedly been the most confronting adventure of my life—delving into notions of family ties and inheritance. The family films that have had the greatest impact on me are those where cinema creates transformation, and I believe in this power to help my father and me navigate our own evolution.
This funding will allow me to fully realize my ambitions and finance the final stages of the film in the
best possible conditions—especially post-production, a phase I am eagerly looking forward to after
nearly nine years of filming and countless twists and turns.
