Since childhood, Guillaume HL has been fascinated by cinema. Armed with a camera, he began making his first films at a young age, exploring diverse stories and worlds through dozens of self-taught projects.

At 17, he directed his first "real" short film, Metz 1944, The Forgotten Battle, a poignant reenactment of a little-known episode of World War II. Even if it was just a start, this project marked a turning point in his journey, solidifying his passion for immersive and visually striking storytelling. The following year, his final high school film received a perfect score of 20/20, confirming his full commitment to filmmaking.

Guillaume pursued his ambition in independent cinema with Reflections, a psychological horror film inspired by the legend of the Skinwalkers. Through meticulous direction and an oppressive atmosphere, he explores the fragility of perception and the terror of the unknown.

His latest project, Five Paths, pushes his narrative and visual boundaries even further. This post-apocalyptic film weaves five storylines across different timelines, revealing fragments of humanity amidst chaos. Each chapter delves into the choices and sacrifices that shape the characters’ destinies.

Passionate, self-taught, and determined, Guillaume HL continues to pursue his dream with the ambition of telling powerful stories—at the crossroads of emotion and visual spectacle—while maintaining an independent, handcrafted, and human-scale approach.
