Jean-Christophe Jeauffre is a renowned film director, writer, and producer, celebrated for his impressive body of work in the film and television industry. He has gained widespread recognition for his epic theatrical productions, such as the Nasa adventure "Passage to Mars" and his exploration documentary features for television, including "Amazon Trek", "Whales of Atlantis", and "100 Years Under the Sea".
As a drama/action screenwriter-director, Jean-Christophe has consistently pushed the boundaries of his craft, developing original exploration projects that take him to the farthest reaches of the globe.

One of his most notable achievements is the award-winning film "Passage to Mars", narrated by Zachary Quinto, which received critical acclaim and numerous Best Picture Awards and nominations upon its theatrical release in the United States in 2016.
Jean-Christophe's commitment to environmentalism and exploration is reflected in his co-founding of the renowned organization, Jules Verne Adventures, in 1992.

Early in his career, Jean-Christophe began making documentaries while serving in the French Navy during the Lebanon war aboard the French aircraft carrier Foch. This experience laid the groundwork for his later work in film and television, including his first feature for Television, "Devil's Islands", shot in South America, and the documentary-western "Red and White". Both films marked the beginning of his international distribution of adventure-exploration epics, which aim to re-discover the world.
