He is a writer and director, known for The Animal Kingdom (2023), Love at First Fight (2014) and Ad Vitam (2018).- Lolo Ferrari, born Eve Valois, was famous for having undergone more plastic surgery than any other porn star. She had her face lifted, her eyes reshaped, her lips thickened and, most famously, a series of silicone injections ballooned her breasts out to 71 inches, and a record-setting (according to the Guinness Book of World Records) weight of 26 pounds. She was on record as saying that the main reason she had so much transforming surgery was that her mother had continually told her, from childhood, that she was ugly, repulsive and stupid and that no man would ever want her. She proved her mother wrong, to a degree, as she became one of the hottest porn stars in Europe, renowned for her willingness to do just about anything with just about anybody (or just about any number of bodies). In addition to her fame as a porn star in Europe, she also made numerous appearances in nightclubs and on late-night TV and even released a single called "Air Bag Generation". While she hadn't had much exposure in the US, plans were underway for her entry into that market when she was found dead on March 5, 2000, by her husband in their French Riviera home. It was known that she suffered from chronic depression, and her husband stated that not long before her death she had visited a funeral home inquiring about arrangements.
An autopsy showed that she had died of an overdose of prescribed anti-depressant drugs, but further investigation by police scientists revealed that she died of suffocation. Shortly afterwards her husband was arrested on charges of failing to prevent her death. A second medical analysis was conducted in 2007,and he was finally cleared of the charges leveled against him. - Henri Vidal was born on 26 November 1919 in Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-Dôme, France.

Guillaume Tauveron was born in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Although he had started to write novels and several stories by the age of 15, it was during watching the credit titles at the beginning ofTim Burton 's Mars Attacks! (1996) that he realized he also wanted to show his personal inner world on screen. Cinema gave him the opportunity to keep telling stories not only with the script, but also with images, lights, sounds and music. A single storyline explained with different angles.
By 2004, He started making short films with an amateur video camera. That same year, he met the independent japanese filmmaker 'Hiroshi Toda (II)' at a French Asian movie festival, in Lyon. They soon became close friends and met several times in France and Japan. In 2006, the both of them have co-written and co-directed a Feature Film together: 'Sakura no kage' (Shadow of the cherry Blossom), Guillaume Tauveron playing the main character. Film noir about a french Hitman, going to Japan to execute a japanese woman. The execution contract specifies he has to kill her in front of her father, but they fall in love while travelling together on the way to meet him. Jean-Pierre Melville being Hiroshi Toda's main influence, the movie's amosphere is kind of "cold" and the characters have blank expressions and show no emotions.
After that, Guillaume directed eight short films: "Green Tale, Grey Tale, Blue Tale, Red Tale, Yellow Tale, Black Tale, Pink Tale, and White Tale", to experiment what he learned with Hiroshi Toda, find his own style and his perticular universe. In 2007 Hiroshi Toda and Guillaume Tauveron were set to work on another Feature Film shot in Japan: A ghost thriller love story. Being an independant film, they encountered different problems and the project was cancelled.
From that moment, Guillaume Tauveron began directing several videos for music bands, making independent short films on the side, still going to Japan once a year to act in Hiroshi Toda's movies ("East Planet", "Phantom of the town", "Furansu kara kita otoko"). While there, he ceased the opportunity to work on his own projects, like Hashi (The bridge), a short movie shot in France and Japan with a french and a japanese actress in the leading roles.
In 2011, after a year and a half of working on his current project: The Blood, he managed to realize the main ambitious movie he had in mind - a Film with a full set of Japanese cast and crew in Tokyo. In spite of the March 11th Tragic events in Japan, he left for Tokyo towards the end of March to start preparing and directing his film. What was first set up to be a medium length film, shortly became a one hour long movie. So in September he went back to Japan, in order to shoot additional scenes and to make a 100 minutes long feature film.- Additional Crew
