We recently connected with Gauthier Raad and have shared our conversation below.

Gauthier , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

Embarking on the journey of creating fresh and innovative film festivals has been the most exhilarating experience in my life. My vision was to establish a haven where everyone could share their unique stories. Fast forward a few years, this space has evolved into a hub for fostering connections and enjoying memorable moments together. What it has turned into surpasses my wildest dreams… That’s the true magic of this endeavor!

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I am Gauthier raad, a creative Producer and Filmmaker offering 10+ years of experience creating impactful, fresh, and innovative video content. Skilled content creator with a natural talent for storytelling and the capacity to handle technical editing, business operations, and team leadership requirements. Successful at taking concepts and producing exceptional products. Team-oriented and tactical with a strategic approach to managing diverse requirements. I have had the chance to work in different countries which helped me understand that there are many facets to the truth!

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

Witnessing guests return year after year is, in my opinion, the most gratifying reward I could receive. It serves as a testament to our dedication to providing exceptional products and crafting a truly welcoming space for everyone to enjoy.

Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

You know, one major hurdle in the world of film festivals and event management is the lack of dedicated educational institutions teaching the ins and outs of developing effective strategies. It’s a fascinating blend of event management, filmmaking know-how, artistic and social tactics, marketing, and advertising. Imagine if there were actual classes in the future that taught people not only how to run film festivals, but also to learn from past mistakes and avoid pitfalls. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
