I am Fabien Dufils, a director with a passion for storytelling across film, commercials, and music videos. Originally from France, I moved to New York in 2008 to pursue new creative opportunities and immerse myself in the industry.

In the commercial world, I have had the privilege of working with well-known brands such as Footlocker, Red Cross, NYPD, Hyundai, Genesis, Tapout, Vidal Sassoon, Olay, Pantene, Clear, L'Oréal, La Perla, NASCAR, Sling TV, Camaïu, Gillette, Damas, Elite, and the French Government, among others. Collaborating with talented athletes and celebrities has been an exciting part of my journey, and I always strive to create visually compelling and meaningful content.

As a filmmaker, I have directed three feature films: One Buck (2017), which was filmed in Louisiana; No Dance No Life(2020), shot in China and Los Angeles; and Implanted (2022), which took me to New York, Las Vegas, and Paris. These projects have been distributed on platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, and they have been fortunate enough to receive recognition at various international festivals. I am always grateful for the opportunities to share my work with audiences and continue learning with each new project.

Music has also played a significant role in my career, and I have had the chance to direct over 200 music videos for a diverse range of artists. Some of those collaborations include David Guetta, Bob Sinclar, Calogero, Yannick Noah, Jenifer, Marc Cerrone, Demon, Michael Miro, Ninho, Vegedream, Damso, David Scribbles, Jermaine Jackson, Merwan Rim, Tina Arena, Lee Grooves, La Funky Family, Big Ali, Wati B, Sarah Riani, Joachim Garraud, Sexion d'Assaut, Francesca, Marilou Bourdon, Eva, Pit Baccardi, and Gen Renard, among others. Every project has been a learning experience, and I value the relationships I have built.

I am always looking for new ways to grow as a storyteller, whether through film, commercials, or music videos. My goal is to keep creating work that resonates with audiences and to collaborate with passionate individuals who inspire me to push creative boundaries.
