Yann Toderi[modifier | modifier le code]

Yann Toderi (born 03-05-1987) is a Swiss and American actor, director, writer, producer, singer and songwriter known for being one of the few people born in Geneva to have an international film career.

Career[modifier | modifier le code]

Yann Toderi's first film experience was as an extra in "Ocean's 11". He would later turn this into a short film about acting called "The Stain" which was selected in film festivals in almost every continent. In between, he successfully appeared in major French TV movies seen by millions of people, such as "As Luck Would Have It" co-starring legendary French actor Jean-Claude Brialy, "Bien Dégagé Derrière Les Oreilles" with Clémentine Célarié, as well as "Sleepsteal" screened in a side selection of the Cannes Film Festival. The festival success of "The Stain" allowed him to gather the budget for his first feature, "Cardio".It received awards in 2 indie film festivals in Los Angeles, before a limited U.S release. He then worked on a series of films about Tourette Syndrom. The first one, "Balls", in which he plays a character who fights his handicap through music, premiered at the GIFF, the only film festival of the french part of Switzerland to have several articles in Variety. The screening was sold out like films with major stars. It then received the award for best romance at the "New York International Film Awards". Yann also received a best actor award from "Best Actor New York". The second one, currently untitled, is in pre-production. It will cost 1mio $ and feature original songs that Yann co-wrote. Because of the covid-19 pandemic a big film he was also working on has been postponed ("Deluxe")while Yann was recording demos for the film's soundtracks. He might release them independently this year. A leaked youtube video (deleted since) seemed to indicate that the sound will be a mix of pop and funk.
