Hugo Saugier grew up in France, in the Hautes-Alpes mountains. At 17, he took the winding roads to town to learn video editing, get stranded on television and then study at an art school. Last years, he has carried out numerous explorations around video and sound: making music videos, video performances, organizing a festival of music played on giant horns.
It was finally as a salesman in a grocery store that he met the producers of his first feature film, a documentary about the iconic mountain overlooking his parents' village. He is also a video manager for various theaters and cultural venues in Marseille.
