Ange-Régis HOUNKPATIN was born and raised in Cotonou,
Benin. At an early age he attends a French school, and
therefore benefits from a mix of cultures which feeds his
imagination and his dreams for other horizons. After high
school, he comes in France where he starts studying literature,
but chooses cinema studies. He graduated from the “Directing”
section of La Femis school in 2013. He then wrote and directed his first short movie in
Benin, “Retaliation”, with Topshot Films.
