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 !
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.
