After architect and engineer studies, a few years in an architectural firm (working as an architect) Philippe Liégeois veered towards his childhood dream: Cinema. Between 1987 and 1991, he produced about 20 short films at Persona Films, where he was the manager, and directed 2 of them: Frozen Penguins 1990, and Les Oubliés 1991. In 1992 he met Jean-Michel Rey and Nadia Lassoujade with whom he created Rezo Films, a production, distribution, and international sales company. He then produced about 20 long feature films by talents as various as Albert Dupontel (Bernie), Pascal Bonitzer (Small Cuts) and Claire Denis (Trouble Everyday). He also produced the last Eric Rohmer movies (Romance of Astrée, Céladon), Philippe de Broca’s Viper in the Fist, and films by firsttime directors such as Marion Laine (A Simple Heart) and Léa Fehner (Silent Voices). In 2010, besides his activities in Rezo Films, Philippe Liégeois created a new company, Bus Films, where he, among others, is developing Léa Fehner’s next movie, and Heavy Water.
