We had the good fortune of connecting with Yassine azzouz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Yassine, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
i never thought that acting was a business when i started shooting shortfilms with my friends, , i still don’t see it as a business to be honest.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I come from a very different type of background, French Algerian born in the French suburbs, the journey starts when breaking into the Parisian entertainment environment coming from the suburbs is already overwhelming and a huge adjustment, I’m not even mentioning the gap between the European versus north american mentality and that is very exciting. so I think that naturally that makes me different by design, I would say that being a polyglot helps me understand people more and makes me better at my acting craft.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
to me, the best place on earth after a movie set is the movie theater. There’s nothing more exciting than sharing a good film with a good friend.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
All the people that I met through my professional journey, my friends and my family obviously.
