MEET THE DIRECTORS
GUILLAUME CAMPANACCI
Guillaume Campanacci was born and raised in Cannes, France. Shortly after obtaining his Masters in Industrial and Mechanical engineering, at the prestigious engineer school “Arts et Metiers” in Aix en Provence and Paris, Guillaume traveled the world as a model: Athens, Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Miami, New York, Los Angeles.
A cinema lover, inspired by a variety of staple films from the past, he started to devote his time to his true passions: writing, directing and acting. He studied Meisner technique at the William Esper Studio in New York. In a short period of time, Guillaume ended up working under the direction of three time Academy Award winner Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki (The Revenant, Birdman), and David Fincher (Fight Club, Seven), acted along such house hold names as Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives) and Jane Fonda (Barbarella), and twice collaborated with the David Lynch Foundation, even receiving this compliment from David Lynch (Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks) himself: “Guillaume, you are a great actor”. After directing several Music Videos and Short Films, and writing numerous spec scripts (one of them awarded by Francis Ford Coppola himself), this refreshingly interesting, funny and charming auteur, reminiscent of a young Alain Delon, wrote, directed, produced and acted in Devils in Disguise, his first feature film, in a spirit of a true Renaissance man. It had its World Premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood where journalists compared him to Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch and Jean Luc Godard and it was watched 27 million times. He then co-wrote, co-directed and co-acted with Vesper Egon in his second feature film, “Whenever I’m Alone With You”, a romantic comedy in the vein of the French New Wave that was shot in Cannes.

VESPER EGON
A native Sarajevan, Vesper Egon is a Los Angeles based actress, screenwriter, director and a singer. Very early in her childhood she developed a passion for art that hasn’t left her since. As an artist, Egon is primarily interested in exploring: always fighting against the characteristics of traditional structure in any art form. Her inspiration comes from dreams, poetry, literature, classical music and paintings and she strongly supports the idea of applying and combining different forms and mediums of expression to her work. Her influences range from French New Wave, Theatre of Absurd, Existentialism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Weimar Cabaret, Dogme 95 Manifesto, Post Punk Movement, Gothic and Magical Realism.
She wrote, directed, produced and starred in “Omnia Mea Mecum Porto” (All that is mine I carry with me); a surreal drama about a young woman who is a refugee and a sole survivor of a war that has claimed the lives of her immediate family.
In 2014. she teamed up with a true Renaissance man, a young talented French actor/director/writer Guillaume Campanacci, on his directorial debut: “Devils in Disguise”. The pair’s love for cinema, particularly French New Wave, and similar aesthetic sensibilities were undeniable from the start and the collaboration continued seamlessly and successfully, culminating with two full feature script they co-penned; a drama about friendship, love triangle and the ultimate Greek tragedy titled “We Used To Be Young Together” and a romantic comedy titled “Whenever I’m Alone With You” set in South of France.
