Sous la Surface
Thibaut Baronian
A renowned French trail runner with an impressive track record, Thibaut has nothing left to prove. Originally from Besançon, he is a member of the Salomon team and stands out for his versatility and ability to perform on technical courses, whether short or long.
Thibaut is also a trained physiotherapist, which gives him in-depth knowledge of the body and recovery, an essential asset for a top athlete. In addition to his sporting achievements, he is appreciated for his competitive spirit, his commitment to the trail running community and his passion for nature.
Simon Dugué
A man of many talents, Simon Dugué never ceases to impress with his many skills.
A resident of Beaufortain, Simon juggles photography, videography and journalism, taking us on a journey through his content creation, YouTube channel and projects.
A trail runner in his spare time, Simon expresses his athletic potential by participating in legendary races.
Having fallen in love with this sport that allows him to move quickly in the mountains, the director is present at most trail events to capture all the best moments of the race.
In making this film, Simon has brought to light a side of Thibaut that few knew about. Thanks to their complicity and friendship, Thibaut's naturalness and sincerity are all the more evident in his testimony.
Main partner SIDAS
The French sports accessories brand Sidas, which specialises in foot comfort and care, provided significant support for this project. It was behind the project, provided the budget and was invaluable in helping with production. Axel Kowalczyk was responsible for the original idea.
Bringing Thibaut's project to life through this film was an obvious choice when Thibaut expressed his desire to share the new chapter of his life that he was embarking on. This desire was shared by the brand, and Sidas collaborated by taking a human approach and offering creative ideas.
