Robin Entreinger

Filmmaker

Robin Entreinger was born in 1980 in the South of France. Being the son of a cinema manager in a small city, he spent time in the projection booth and acquired a lot of film knowledge. After passing the A-levels, he got an admission for a filmmaking degree, where he studied camera work and cinematograpy. In order to pay rent during his studies, Robin worked as a projectionist.

In 2001 he moved to Lyons where he worked as a projectionist for Pathé, and as a cameraman and cinematographer on corporate films or short films. During 2007, he worked as a cameraman on a feature film shot around Lyons. That was when he decided to buy a camera and start directing.

During the summer of 2011, he shot his first feature film: Victims, on a tiny budget. At a screening at the Cannes Film Market, the direction of the Strasbourg Fantastic Film Festival decided to have a competition screening. The film received very good reviews and got promoted by genre magazines (Mad Movies, l’Ecran Fantastique).

During that time, Robin had already shot his second film: Sadik 2, a horror comedy, which was screened in 2013 at FrightFest , London’s Horror Film Festival, and at the Razor Reel Fantastic Film Festival in Belgium.

After Sadik 2, Robin took a break from Horror and made Eta Carinae, a drama dealing with grief and the link between Man and the Cosmos. In January 2014, he shot Dreamland in Japan. The film tells the story of a lonely photographer, who deals with panic attacks. It is a mix of Drama, Romance and Thriller, and stars the Japanese actress, Hyunri. The film was screened at two independent film festivals in the USA in 2015.

During the summer of 2014, he co-directed the horror Inside Me with Steve Noir (The film will soon be available on VOD platforms). In 2015, he shot a documentary on French whiskeys, and then got back to genre cinema by shooting The Darkest in 2016, a fantastic film in which Night and Darkness have a major part. That same year, he also shot his first short film: We Kill Everything in Japan, starring Valentin Bonhomme (who worked in all Robin’s films) and the Japanese actress Rumiko Kimishima.
