He's not yet 30, but Guillaume is already precocious in his field. Guillaume is a young French director who, in 2019, created a film titled 'Yearning Rose' in just seven days with a very tight budget. We're going to tell you the story of a young son of an Israeli immigrant, whose life hasn't always been easy but who managed to persevere and make his way in an industry where no one expected him.

In 1997, Arthur Gevart, a professional Israeli doctor, welcomed his fourth son into the world and named him Guillaume. However, Guillaume's early years were marked by adversity. He grappled with an auditory disorder, which led to a mental delay that persisted throughout his childhood. His preschool teachers doubted his ability to read or write, making the path to a conventional education seem unlikely. Despite these challenges, Guillaume managed to obtain a literary baccalaureate. In a family where success was prevalent, with two older brothers excelling in fields like law and biology, Guillaume's father, a doctor from a working-class background, had climbed the ranks through sheer determination. It was within this context that Guillaume grew up, driven by a desire not to disappoint his loved ones.

His journey towards filmmaking wasn't straightforward. Guillaume faced obstacles along the way, but a turning point came when he watched Jean-Marie Pallardy's film 'White Fire.' Despite its reputation for mediocrity, the film struck a chord with him, sparking a determination to pursue a career in filmmaking. Guillaume enrolled in a film school but found himself among the less accomplished in his class. Despite these challenges, he persevered. Though he did not secure his diploma, he formed lasting friendships with two fellow aspiring directors. Together, they established an audiovisual agency and embarked on their debut film project, 'Yearning Rose.' This venture was unique in its execution, completed in just seven days with a meager budget of 12,000, paying homage to French director Jean-Pierre Mocky, an artist Guillaume deeply admired. While 'Yearning Rose' didn't achieve commercial success, it became a stepping stone for Guillaume's growth. Learning from his mistakes, he took on the role of cinematographer for the documentary 'The Legend of Thierry Mauvignier,' furthering his journey of improvement.

In 2022, to his great surprise, the Prime Video platform distributed Guillaume's films 'Yearning Rose' and 'The Legend of Thierry Mauvignier.' It served as a modest reward, rekindling his motivation to continue his filmmaking pursuits. Collaborating with the Mouvement du Nid association in Nantes, he directed the documentary 'Chained Venuses,' an achievement that earned him the prestigious honorable mention at the 2023 Student World Impact Film Festival. Following this recognition, he decided to delve into a subject close to his heart-his father's story. This led to the creation of 'Gevart,' a film that delves into the daily life of a doctor approaching retirement, as he contemplates his own journey. Guillaume sought inspiration from films spanning the 1950s to the 1990s, aiming to grasp the cinematic language of the trailblazers of that era.

Guillaume acknowledges that the road ahead will be long and fraught with challenges. Nevertheless, he remains steadfast in his pursuit of a dream to one day walk the illustrious red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.
