Rodrigue Huart is a French director whose work spans music videos, documentaries, short and feature films. He began his career directing music videos for artists including Fishbach, We Have Band, Gims, Juveniles, Siboy, and Las Aves. After this period, he self-financed and directed his first documentary, Is It Punk Music? (2017), which follows two brothers leaving the British countryside to make punk music in London.. He then directed Are You Still Here? (2018) for Canal+, tracking the last tour of the French band Her's after the tragic death of its co-founder. In 2023, Huart moved into short films with Transylvanie (2023), a 15-minute film in which a 10-year-old girl, living in a small derelict town, is convinced she is a vampire and will stop at nothing to prove it. The film premiered at genre festivals, including the Midnight Short competition at the SXSW Film & TV Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Award for Midnight Short. In 2024, Huart directed Réel (2024). This four-minute short film follows the discovery of a smartphone in a farmer's field in 1857, blending historical anachronism and horror. He also made Trigger (2024), a low-budget horror short shot on an iPhone in his apartment, featuring an ASMR artist livestreamer confronted by a mysterious stranger. According to his own statements, his taste "when it comes to fiction" is for work that "gets dark and tense". Transylvanie was nominated for the Gold Hugo at the Chicago International Film Festival in 2024, nominated at the Denver Film Festival in 2024, and won the SXSW Grand Jury Award (Midnight Short) in 2024. Réel was nominated for the Get Shorty Audience Award at the Fantasy Filmfest in 2024.
