Patricia Mazuy
Born in 1960 in Dijon, France.
Patricia Mazuy is a French filmmaker.
Patricia Mazuy wanted to attend the Louis Lumière film school, but enrolled at HEC business school instead. She spent most of her time at the film club, where she confirmed her love of westerns and crime films, discovered The Doors (who were already dead by then), and left school for Los Angeles. There, she made a short film with her babysitting earnings and met Agnès Varda and her editor Sabine Mamou. Three years later, Mamou hired her as an intern on Une chambre en ville, and she finally learned her craft. After editing Sans toit ni loi, she devoted herself to her first film, Peaux de vaches. She had begun writing in 1983 for Jean-François Stévenin, whose Passe montagne she admired.
