Check Out Audrey Biche’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Audrey Biche.

Hi Audrey, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I am the eldest of three sisters, brought up by a single parent. We grew up on three continents, speak four languages, and attended eleven different schools. I’d like to think that our childhood’s consistent lack of permanence allowed us to develop a strong capacity for adaptability and an unorthodox way of looking at the world. At 25, I was awarded a Fulbright as well as a Georges Lurcy fellowship, these paved the way for me to study at the American Film Institute, from which I’ve just graduated.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s been a privilege to have been surrounded by a diverse and supportive community both at AFI and among my peers in the ASC mentorship program. That being said, LA is extremely competitive; there are many talented cinematographers. I’m particular about the projects I take on, but it’s been a balancing act— we all have bills. I’m continuously learning to navigate this duality. My current goal is to keep exploring and pushing myself creatively and technically by selecting projects that align with my growth, both as an individual and as a cinematographer.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a cinematographer, we’re responsible for the images of a film. Kind of. Crafting a film is a collaborative and process-driven journey that requires constant reinvention. I’m drawn to cinematography because of its inherent duality: the delicate balancing act between observing the world through the eyes of a child and analyzing it as a technician. Perhaps this inclination to be behind the camera is rooted in my preference for listening over speaking. Cinematographers stand at the crossroads of art and technology with a touch of psychology. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
My relationship with LA keeps evolving. The first time I found myself stuck in a car, inching along a 6-lane freeway at 5 km/hr, I questioned all the choices that brought me here. I found the city counterintuitive, but the thing I’ve come to realize is that wandering aimlessly doesn’t yield much here; not in the same way it does New York or Paris, it’s a city where deliberate exploration is key. It’s growing on me.
