Aïssa Djabri and Farid Lahouassa are French film producers.

Graduates of the IDHEC, they founded their company Vertigo Productions in 1992 to produce the sitcom ” La Famille Ramdam “, broadcast on M6, then the series ” Seconde B ” and the TV films ” Les années lycée “. Cédric Klapisch’s “Le Péril jeune” will be released in 1995 by Gaumont, and Vertigo Productions will then devote itself to cinema.

“Raï” (1995), “Chacun cherche son chat” (1996) and “La vérité si je mens!” (1997) will make Vertigo Productions a major player in independent film production.

Among the 32 feature films produced by the company, the two producers have been able to diversify the genres but have always put forward, alongside Cédric Klapisch, Thomas Gilou or Eric Barbier, young talents, both actors and directors. “Tout ce qui brille” by Géraldine Nakache and Hervé Mimran or more recently “Walter” by Varante Soudjian are successful first films. Big productions like ” La vérité si je mens ! 2″ and ” … 3″, “Man to man” by Régis Wargnier or “De Gaulle” by Gabriel Le Bomin are proof of the know-how and eclecticism of the producers.

After a career as an actor of more than twenty years, Isaac Sharry founded in 2006 the production company Vito Films in order to accompany authors and projects that are close to his heart.

He produced the two opuses of ” Neuilly sa mère “, the film ” Les seigneurs ” by Olivier Dahan, ” Je compte sur vous ” by Pascal Elbé, ” La ritournelle ” by Marc Fitoussi, ” Enorme ” by Sophie Letourneur (in co-production with Caroline Bonmarchand) and ” L’Etat du Texas contre Melissa ” by Sabrina Van Tassel.

From comedy to auteur films and documentaries, in France and abroad, Vito Films’ editorial line is eclectic with the desire to live human adventures.
