Férid Memmich behind the Scenes



Ferid MEMMICH is a long-time companion and a loyal friend. He is a moviegoer and was involved in all my films. He also played in 3 of my features and proved to be a remarkable actor, one who knows to fully embody the different facets of his character. I must admit I often acted as a torturer especially in my thriller « The Last Mirage » where Férid had to eat 6 whole roasted chickens early in the morning, bought the day before, reheated and very oily …Férid ate and crushed the bones too… while suffering from an allergy to chicken meat !

Shooting The Last Mirage – Férid Memmich and the particular chicken scene

Ultimately, we shared unforgettable moments on movie sets and while screening our films all around the world. Our friendship and journey have been strengthened by this exemplary collaboration.
