Hugo Saugier grew up in France, in the mountains of the Hautes-Alpes. At 17, he took the winding roads to the city to learn video editing, get stranded in television and then study at an art school. In recent years, he has led many explorations around video and sound: making music videos, video performances, organizing a music festival played on giant horns. It is finally as a salesman in a grocery store in Lyon that he met the producers of his first film project, a documentary about the strange mountain that overlooks his parents' village. He is also a stage manager for various theaters and cultural venues in Marseille.
