Biography

Romain Dumont started writing screenplays when he was 18. His career only really started years later when the director of photography and friend Antoine Ryan pulled him out of his immobility and convinced him to take out a loan at the bank to finance their first short film, Quand elle tombe. Based on this success, the duo repeated their piracy with Au plaisir les ordures! The film was presented in competition in many international festivals, including Guanajuato, Clermont-Ferrand, Slamdance (honorable mention), Dokufest and Hollyshorts and won a dozen awards. He has been living in Paris for the past two years, and is now working on four short films on the same theme, La Justice des Hommes. The first chapter, Fuck You I’m Millwall, was shot in the summer of 2022.
