CHRIS NAHON
Date of Birth: 1969
Born and raised in Val D'Oise, France, Nahon was keen to develop his artistic side, and by 15 he left home for Paris to attend art school. He worked as a freelance photographer for a time, then directed a short film before the age of 20, followed by a second one two years later. The experience inspired him to create his own production company called V.A.M.O.S., which specialized in creating commercials.
His production company went on to do post-production work, leaving Nahon to continue directing commercials for other companies. Five years after creating his company, he had completed his first feature film screenplay. Although it wasn't filmed, Nahon decided to focus his time on feature film work, which slowed the productivity of V.A.M.O.S.
For the start of the new millennium, Nahon was contacted by director/writer Luc Besson to direct his screenplay, Kiss of the Dragon.
