Margaux Juvénal
Take Shelter – France
Profile
Take Shelter was founded in 2020 by Simon Bleuzé, Alexis Genauzeau and Margaux Juvénal, three film enthusiasts with complementary expertise, to produce French and international features and documentaries by talented emerging filmmakers. After various professional experiences (CHAZ Productions, CG Cinema, Legend, Agat Films & Cie, Indie Prod / Indie Sales, Seattle International Film Festival), they decided to create a production company which responds to their ambition to discover new talents and to accompany the authors they have been following for several years from short films to feature films, with a common objective: to develop quality independent cinema that does not renounce its commercial and international ambitions.
Margaux is a graduate of Sciences-Po Paris and of the French Film School La Fémis. She has produced about fifteen short films, presented at Locarno Film Festival, Berlinale, New Directors/ New Films Film Festival, Entrevues Belfort Film Festival, Premiers Plans Angers and Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival, while doing internships at MK2, Why Not Productions, Wild Bunch and 3B Productions. Since 2017, she has been working as a production manager and junior producer at Indie Prod. She has worked on several feature films, including Emad Aleebrahim Dehkordi's Black Knight, supported by the CNC Aide aux Cinémas du Monde and Pyramide Distribution, currently in preparation. Margaux Juvénal won the Lagardère Foundation Producer Award in 2019.
