ABOUT DAVID NOREAU
Anywhere in the world—or remotely—I unlock doors and bring bold, meaningful projects to life. Since founding Smartcut in 2013, I’ve helped facilitate or produce audiovisual content in 50+ countries across five continents—supporting visionary leaders across film, advertising, documentary, media, television, and music videos. Leveraging a trusted and diverse global network—spanning collaborators and strategic partners across sectors—I deliver agile solutions that simplify remote productions and empower international teams on the ground. This ecosystem extends well beyond the creative industries, enabling me to connect ideas, people, and opportunities across a wide range of cultural and operational contexts. With a Master’s in International Journalism (Canada/UK), I spent seven years in media, notably with Enquête (Radio-Canada) and AFP in New Delhi. As a digital nomad for over 15 years, I’ve worked remotely from more than 25 countries — living between 3 and 18 months in cities such as Paris, London, NY, Berlin, Marseille, Brussels, Barcelona, Beirut, Istanbul, Dakar, and New Delhi. Today, more than ever, I seek collaborations that align with my values: thinking and acting outside the box, bringing bold and impactful ideas to life. At the heart of my approach: genuine relationships built on respect.
