Régis Thiriot – Owner and founder
Freshly graduated from French Business School, I met up with the right connections (some of them are still my partners!) and started to work on set: on feature films (Son of the Pink Panther – directed by Blake Edwards in 1993 and more recently on “Romy” – directed by Torsten C Fisher, …) and on commercials (Peugeot commercials, Chanel N°5 commercials, …).
I enjoyed working in the film industry a lot. But back then I was more into own-initiative business spirit. So that after having worked as a stock exchange specialist within a bank, I decided to run my own (eclectic) companies over the years: gardening company, online organic beauty products company.
And then in 2016 I founded Freds & Co Productions: high time we (my partners and I) work according to our own methods and defending the values we trust in.
