A Real Job (whose screenplay was penned by the filmmaker and is being kept under wraps) is produced by Agnès Vallée and Emmanuel Barraux on behalf of 31 Juin Films and Les Films du Parc, in co-production with France 2 Cinéma and Le Pacte (who are also handling distribution in France, in addition to international sales). Pre-purchased by Canal+, Ciné+ and France Télévisions, the feature film also enjoys support from the Normandy region, alongside an impressive pool of SOFICA companies (Indéfilms, Cofinova, La Banque Postale Image, Palatine Etoile, Cinémage, Cofimage, Cinéventure and Cinécap). Unfolding in Normandy and the Ile-de-France region, filming is set to wrap on 22 April.
