Jean-Louis Milesi was born in Italy, came to France at 2 months old, to Paris at 27, to California at 54.
Graduated from Kindergarden, he flees the university after a few weeks.
He does odd jobs that permit him to discover (among other things) the heart of a nuclear power plant, also a desert region at the Iran-Iraq border, and some heady vapors of wine tanks in Provence.
He goes to Paris to try film making and becomes a screenwriter without really wanting to, (he just wanted to write his own stories). The films that he writes for Robert Guédiguian are a national and international success (Marius and Jeannette, The town is quiet, Marie-Jo and her 2 lovers, The Snows of Kilimanjaro…).
He goes to California for a family project. This quaking land shakes his neurons like a tree, some new ideas fall on the floor: his first american movie Don't Give Up The Ghost (script, direction, production, editing, acting...), the script The Blood Remains The Same (will be directed by Pitof), a french novel Les bottes de Clint Eastwood...
