BONJOUR.
I’m Arthur Genre. French content creator focusing on the culture, history, and aesthetics of the United States. I make documentaries on YouTube, shoot American life on Instagram, and write thoughts, sometimes fiction, on this blog. I have lived in France, New York and Florida, and work both in French and English.
I am a 23-year-old creative mind making content on several platforms. Born and raised in France, I am fascinated by American culture and have worked and studied in the U.S.
Since 2016, I’ve been creating videos on my YouTube Channel focused on this specific topic, including full-length documentaries, explanatory journalism, and on-location reports.
After finishing my exchange program at the State University of New York at New Paltz, I went back to France and used my expertise in American Culture to apply it to my profession, as well as my skills gained as a YouTuber. I joined Bangumi in 2020, France’s biggest independent production company, to work as a journalist on their daily talk show Quotidien. Itis the most-watched talk show in the country and features news decryption, political satire, interviews, and comedy.
