Théo Collet is a 21 year-old documentary filmmaker from France studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), in the state of Georgia (USA). He starts his documentary career at the age of 18 when producing and directing the project “Voices from Zaatari” for which he would go alone to the Syrian border in Jordan in order to film and tell stories of refugees in a zone neglected from big humanitarian organizations. After almost a year of pre-production and fundraising, he is able to leave for Jordan and to make his film. Those two weeks led him from
the capital Amman, to the refugee camps lost in the desert and to the war-torn Syrian border. After a year of editing, the film comes out in December 2018 and won awards in several festivals, among them, the Golden Fox Award for the best student film at the Calcutta International Cult Film Festival. This experience makes him even more interested in pursuing documentary, and he renews the experience two years later at the American border in Mexico where he follows two Honduran migrants surviving in Mexicali, Baja California, and trying desperately to cross.
