Pierre-Antoine Rousseau trained in filmmaking at ESEC in Paris and in acting at Cours Florent. He first worked in the film industry as a location manager, production assistant, and editor before fully dedicating himself to directing and acting, performing on stage.
After spending three years in Afghanistan, where he directed institutional films for international organizations such as the United Nations and Handicap International, he returned to France and co-founded RGfilms, a production company through which he led several documentary projects, while simultaneously continuing his theatrical career.
In the years that followed, he gradually stepped away from production and directing to devote himself more fully to stage work, before eventually setting all of these activities aside.
For a long time, he questioned his place. He searched for where and how to be, how to conduct himself, carrying a deep sense of always having been outside the frame.
He came to understand the importance of connecting body and mind in all dimensions of life. He opened himself to various practices such as yoga, meditation, freediving, NLP, bioenergetics, and self-induced cognitive trance.
Today, he is fully dedicated to personal development, exploring the deep connections between creative expression and inner well-being. He is currently preparing a book on fear, the creation of a space for expression, as well as a mountain refuge.
