Gaël Morel

At the age of 15, Morel left home to go to pursue film studies in Lyon, afterwards moving to Paris. There he met with the acclaimed french director André Téchiné who cast him in the lead role of François in the multi César-winning 1994 film Les Roseaux sauvages wich brought him to wider fame, earning much critical praise for his performance, and a 1995 César nomination for Most Promising Young Actor. Neverthless, Morel has chosen to pursue a career behind the camera, as filmmaking has always been his passion with films as À toute vitesse (1996), Les Chemins de l’oued (2002) or Après lui (2007), which has been seen in Cannes or Toronto festivals.
