Nicolas Boulenger
Founder & Manager
With a background in Engineering from the prestigious École des Ponts ParisTech and a Master's degree in Business Organization, my career path led me to filmmaking and communication.
Trained in acting (Le Magasin), screenwriting (Maison du Film), and production management (INA), I wrote and directed scripted content (for networks like TF1, France 2, Canal+) and promotional films (UNESCO, Publicis) before co-founding ChezFilms in 2018.
Over the years, I realized my most valuable contribution came long before production: in defining a precise intent and a clear message to build an aligned communication strategy. ChezFilms is the culmination of this journey—a space where I help launch or untangle the communication of technical or complex projects, from message architecture to content creation.
I will be your main point of contact and will oversee your project from start to finish.
Our Mission
ChezFilms was founded in 2018 by engineers and filmmakers to showcase expertise and innovation, particularly in the industrial, research, and educational sectors.
We work with both individuals and large corporations, providing support on three levels:
1. Strategy & Messaging
Creating content without a strong, consistent, and aligned message is often a wasted effort.
The first step is to define a narrative strategy: finding a unique angle that can be developed over time to become a recognizable signature, consistent across every new product or project.
To be effective and maintain its impact, this message must connect a journey (personal or institutional) with a field of expertise, telling a story that truly resonates with the target audience. We build this message through immersive interviews.
2. Mastering Your Delivery
Once the message is defined, it's crucial that everyone can articulate it confidently in any situation: in public, on camera, or during an impromptu meeting with a journalist or decision-maker.
Our core belief: while we work on the practical aspects (stress management, presence, connection), we are convinced that form follows substance. The key is ensuring everyone deeply understands the message and can make it their own, allowing for a natural and authentic delivery. We hone these skills through individual and group workshops.
3. Content & Distribution
Your message is clear, and your key people know how to deliver it... but no one knows you exist yet. To reach your audience, you need to place compelling content in their path that will capture their attention.
We offer two ways to achieve this:
- Turnkey Production
We work with you to create a detailed brief, then handle the entire production process. Leveraging our vast network of talent, we deliver ready-to-use content. This is the "classic," hassle-free production path. - Coached Production (Building Autonomy)
If you want to produce content in-house—social media videos, interviews, articles—we help you set up the entire workflow: content types, creative angles, speakers, platforms, and equipment. By the end of our collaboration, you are fully self-sufficient.
