Loup Bureau was born in 1990. French director and journalist, Bureau spent several years working as international reporter, covering the Arab Spring in Egypt, the Syrian war and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in the Donbas region. In July 2017, in a context of increasing attacks against press freedom in Turkey, he got arrested near the border with Iraq while filming a report. Accused of "terrorism", he risked a 25-year sentence in prison. On September 17, 2017 Turkish authorities, under diplomatic pressure, agreed to free him.

Since then, Loup Bureau has been living between France and Ukraine. Trenches is his first feature film.
