Lou Beauchard
Lou Beauchard is a visionary director whose distinctive approach was shaped through her deep involvement in Visual and Stop Motion Art. Collaborating with artists like Okay Kaya and Coldplay Lou has built a reputation for crafting stories that blur the lines between fantasy, everyday life, and the poetic allure of liminal spaces—those fleeting moments of transition that evoke introspection. Her work frequently integrates elements of found footage and intimate, journal-like storytelling, resulting in a uniquely personal and resonant aesthetic.
Lou has worked on a wide range of projects, including feature films, commercials, music videos, and short films, which have honed her versatility and depth as an artist. Beyond directing, she is an accomplished Stop Motion Animator and Puppet Maker, crafting characters for her own projects as well as for prestigious brands such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci. This has allowed her to explore an extensive array of materials—silicone, modelling clay, paper, and more—giving her a deep knowledge of techniques and textures.
Lou’s meticulous attention to detail, combined with her passion for pushing the boundaries of realism, makes her a director with a truly unique voice. Her work continues to redefine the possibilities of Stop Motion Art, transforming liminal moments and intimate stories into cinematic experiences that linger in the viewer's mind.
