In the spirit of celebrating creativity, we invite talented individuals from around the globe to delve into our Q&A on the whats and hows of their creative journey. This episode is dedicated to the Paris based duo of directors behind Cokau, known for their innovative fusion of visual artistry and compelling energy.
How would you describe what you do?
Achille & Thomas: We are Cokau, a directors duo based in Paris. We mainly work with luxury brands or food industry but we also like to explore our artistic limits with experimental films.
How did you get started?
Achille & Thomas: We both attended a specialized cinema school for postproduction, where we acquired skills in editing and motion design. Our paths converged when we landed our first job at a postproduction house. We quickly teamed up as a creative duo and collaborated extensively with Nike for eight years. It was while filming the new jersey of the French soccer team in macro that we were inspired to create a short experimental film featuring insects. Winning the Vimeo Award for Best Experimental Film provided us with the confidence and motivation to embark on this new career journey, leading us to establish our own studio.
