Hi, my name is Valentin Moulias, I'm a french Filmmaker working in Halifax NS.
After learning film for 4 years in Barcelona, I’ve moved to Vancouver in 2018 to make my way as an Assistant Director. I climbed my way both in Union world, where I became a DGC member, as well as on the Indie scene where I’m a known 1st AD specialized in Stunts and Effect Heavy projects. I moved to Nova Scotia in 2024 to follow my partner and work in the local industry.
