Denis Poncet was a journalist for more than 20 years. After covering Watergate, he spent five years as bureau chief in Washington for Radio France. In the '80s, he became a war correspondent in the Middle East before being appointed executive chief editor of one of the networks. As an independent, Poncet has directed numerous documentaries, mostly in the United States. In 1995, he became co-producer for Bertrand Tavernier's company Little Bear, where he teamed up with director and friend Jean-Xavier de Lestrade to make such documentaries as "Children Full of Hope" and the award-winning "A White and Pure Australia" (both 1998). In 1999, they created their own company, Maha Productions.
Subsequent producing credits include UN RÊVE ALGÉRIEN (2003), AVANT LES ASSISES, UNE AFFAIRE DE VIOL and AVANT LES ASSISES, UNE AFFAIR DE MEURTRE and the TV mini-series "Soupçons" (all 2004), "Sin City Law" and "Rendez-moi justice" (both TV, both 2007), and SUR TA JOUE ENNEMIE (scheduled for release in 2008).
