Cédric Jimenez

Cédric Jimenez (born 26 June 1976) is a French film producer, film director and screenwriter. He is married to the screenwriter and journalist Audrey Diwan, with whom he has two children. The film career of Cédric Jimenez starts through documentary means. In 2003, back in France after a long stay in New York, he puts his signature on 'Who's The Boss (Boss Of Scandalz Strategyz)', a documentary that follows the famous hip-hop music label which saw the group NTM hatch. He participated some years later to writing 'Scorpion' (signed Julien Seri), on the resurrection of a fallen Thai boxer, played by Clovis Cornillac, and continues to work with the actor in a science fiction film entitled 'Eden Log'. It was only in 2012 that truly Cédric Jimenez started directing. He co-signs with Arnaud Duprey 'Aux yeux de tous', a feature film as original and ambitious, dipping a couple of terrorists (Mélanie Doutey and Olivier Barthelemy) in turmoil since a hacker hunted by keypad virtuoso. The film picks up an appointment at the International Thriller Film Festival of Beaune. He takes his camera two years later (in 2014) to oppose Gilles Lellouche to Jean Dujardin in 'The Connection', crime fiction set in Marseille, amid international heroin trafficking, and inspired by the murder of Judge Pierre Michel. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
