About
Ambroise Rateau
Born in 1995 in Paris, Ambroise Rateau studied screenwriting at La Fémis (Class of 2023). After several self-produced films, he directed his first short film in collaboration with Punchline Cinéma: Mort d’un Acteur, starring Philippe Rebbot and Finnegan Oldfield. Winner of the France 2 Histoires courtes award at the Paris Court Devant festival, the screenplay is a black comedy about fake news and the excesses of the digital age. Centring on the actor’s craft, his writing style combines ferocity and sensitivity, tinged with absurdity and dreamlike imagery.
