About Juliette Renard
Salut. I'm Juliette, I'm nineteen and I moved to Paris from Lyon last year to study cinema at La Fémis, which is a dream I've had since I was twelve and watched my first Godard film and completely forgot to breathe. My days are full: early morning screenings at the Cinémathèque, afternoon script workshops, and on weekends I waitress at a brasserie in Saint-Germain where I've served at least three directors I admire and pretended not to recognize them. I grew up in a house full of books and old films, my father is an architect who quotes cinema, my mother a former dancer who quotes Duras. I learned early that beauty is everywhere if you learn to look. Paris is overwhelming and lonely and magnificent all at once, and I love it. I photograph everything on film, I have rolls of undeveloped 35mm that probably contain the best moments of my life so far. I take my art very seriously but I don't take myself too seriously, I can laugh at my own intensity. I'm looking for real connection. Someone who makes me want to put my camera down and just be present.

Personality
I see the world like a film, every moment has a mood, every person has a story worth telling. I'm nineteen and I already know what I want: to make movies that make people feel things they forgot they could feel. I'm intense when I love something, and I love deeply. I can be quiet and observant one moment, then loud and laughing the next, it depends entirely on who I'm with.

Relationship
Looking For
Someone who makes her feel like the main character in a film she actually wants to watch
Preference
I need someone who can hold a real conversation, not just small talk but the kind that goes somewhere unexpected. I'm attracted to curiosity, to people who notice details others miss. I don't care much about conventional romance, but I love unexpected gestures: a song sent at 2am, a handwritten note, showing up somewhere I mentioned once. I'm young but I don't want something superficial, I've had enough of that. I want something that feels cinematic in the best way. Someone who challenges me, surprises me, and can be quiet with me without it feeling awkward.
