Director / Photographer
Virgile is a director, cinematographer and photographer from Bordeaux. Experimentation is at the heart of his work. He’s always looking for new techniques, trying machines and effects to create original projects exploring all different types of mediums and formats.
Absolt is a production company and a creative collective founded by Thomas Mansy in 2010 in Lille, now based in Paris.
The Lille collective, created by a group of friends, was historically a media and cultural player in the area, setting up exhibitions, shows, events and parties, maintaining a real local community.
Step by step, the two creative talents of the collective, Gaetan Morant and Thomas Mansy, moved in a self-taught way towards artistic direction, video and photography. They are increasingly offering their services in the metropolis to gradually transform Absolt into a creative studio and duo.
In 2015, in full swing, the collective's adventure was turned upside down by the disappearance of Gaetan. Tosh then left Lille for Paris, more motivated than ever to keep the project going.
Absolt is no longer one, but the ambition remains the same. Gradually, video and graphic production projects follow one another. Tosh set up Absolt’s first offices in 2017, alongside Bon Esprit and Trax Magazine with whom he works regularly.
That same year, it was in this universe of culture, music and nightlife that Tosh met Rémy Golinelli, photographer & videographer already working in the industry for several years.
The two directors then work more and more regularly together, with the same motivation to transform this experience in the field of culture into a force for the creation of digital content. In 2018, they decided to join forces and Absolt became a production company.
Today, installed since three years in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, Absolt works with major brands and agencies, offering its creative production and direction services.
Drawing on its creativity and its network of talents, Absolt is now able to set up effective productions for advertising or music videos with passion and authenticity.
Absolt is and will remain above all, a family, a collective project. - 2015
