Professional Mauritian drama actors & first time actors merge to launch the so long waited entertainment cinema industry in Mauritius...
Unbelievable as it may seem, the 4 lead actors of this 100% Mauritian movie production performed incredibly well though on their first film experience. 8 years old Aurelie Bestel surprised the director with her morphing in the Julie Jeunet character so well by only reading the script. It seems to be a genetic issue as Pascal Bestel, playing Dr Jeunet, father of Aurelie in real life, is an excellent dramatic actor also. Kennedy Charles (professional humourist) playing Dr Wong & Juanito Francisco (professional drama actor) playing an African thug leader litterally add the spice to this very promising recipe...
In this section, we invite you to learn more about our production cast & crew which has been dedicated to the production of Julie & l'ile Maurice simply by passion.

| General Siye's Man | Juanito Francisco | Being an excellent actor though the director always had troubles to design characters for his neutral physionomy, he has been so well immersed in the role and the looks of General Siye's man that he will attract a special attention from the audience at the film's release. | |
