జీవిత చరిత్ర
Valérie Labro, also known as Eloise Labro or Valerie Eloise Labro on social and professional networks, is a performing artist, actress, and singer. Daughter of a renowned French writer-journalist-filmmaker, Valérie grew up on film sets. She studied literature, theater, and film dramatics under Jean Douchet. After training as an actress at Fratellini and the National Chaillot Theater in Paris, she specialized in the Stanislavski and Actor's Studio methods with Russian and American masters. She also worked as a cinema technician in various roles for over fifteen years.
Simultaneously, she pursued an acting career in television, cinema, theater, voiceover, and dubbing. As a singer-songwriter, she became an independent producer with 15 years of concert experience, one music video, tours, an EP, two albums, and a one-woman musical show, The L.O Chaud, presented at the Festival d'Avignon under the pseudonym Eloise Labro alias L.O. She also works as a coach and selenographer with current music groups and prepares actors for auditions and filming.
Following her dramatic adaptation show on poetry and song, Paul Valéry's "Twilight of Love," commissioned by the Museum of Sète, the COVID-19 pandemic struck. Having always written, she used this complete halt in activity to specialize in screenwriting and earned her diploma as a documentary filmmaker. Her first philosophical documentary short film, Corona, Being and the Mask, is eight minutes long. She develops concepts for television series, including Mask Power (a documentary series), a bible and a 52-minute drama pilot Woman Discovered, a bible for Black Out (fiction), and self-produced casting and scouting books. Her talent has been recognized by the digital creation office for screenwriters.
Valérie continues to work as an actress, coach, voice artist, independent director, and cinema technician. She currently focuses on writing short films and series and filming both documentaries and fiction. Her first short film, Under Control (5’12”), won the Best Super Short prize at the SWIFF Festival (student, USA). Her second short film, Validation, received the Special Jury Mention Prize for Disabled Actress at the Paris Court Décent Festival in January 2024. Meanwhile, she is producing In the Flesh of Intimacy, a feminist short documentary about sex for disabled French women, still in production. This project serves as a preview for a 90-minute film to be co-produced. She is preparing her third short fiction film, The Hair, with Les Films du Cancre, writes concepts for new documentaries, and serves as an executive producer.
