i am mai
i am a french-vietnamese artist, mother of 2,
living in paris and london.
i have been a colour designer for 20 years,
and a filmmaker for 10,
during which time I produced hundreds of portraits
and directed 3 feature length documentaries.
what defines me most
is my quest for poetry,
connection and love.

welcome

family… is complicated
for everyone my first movie les rivières, a 5 year documentation of my line of women which i have been told…

was cursed.

“everyone should gift les rivières to a woman they love.” 4 years since its completely independant release, people over 82 different countries have been sharing tears watching my first documentary. you too, can become part of the tribe.

les rivières (94min movie) watch now

eternal gratitude to the fans

thank you for your art, your sharings,
our conversations, your financing, your translations,
the film could have never existed
without your love.

so, after having worked with women, i wanted to work on the masculine side a bit.

it is the right time for me to talk about jerry.

jerry is my husband and creative partner he is an artist and a rock and roll therapist who has been running men’s group and retreats for 29 years.

“ powerful and poetic, make me a man is a gemstone in our conversdation around masculinity ” le monde

we all need to talk about men, right? the ones we have filmed are bit particuliar : they have chosen to be vulnerable. after having worked for so long with women i was longing to know what was going on the other side. what i found out is :
there is no other side

and now, what’s next?

I am a monsoon-color woman
I am a mother-river carrying messages from within
I am a channel through which life passes
I am my arms that embrace you
I am my sex filled with joy
I am my word shared in a circle.
you can fall there
to be rocked there
like in a human hammock
I talk and you no longer feel alone
I listen to you and liquefy with love
beauty is a flow
together we become ourselves
we become the other
we become other
together
we are poetry.
Listen,
We
are
alive.
