Since 10 years Jean-Paul has been devoted himself to documentaries. His collection "Four seasons in France" is raising French Heritage. In addition, the birth of his children considerably developed his sensitivity towards ecology. His eldest daughter was born the day after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It was at this moment that he decided to make films on nature. He believes that when one has the possibility of using images to convey the sad state of the planet, then this is a duty. His first film: "The Four Seasons of a Shepherd" is set in a valley of the Hautes Pyrénées region: the valley of Louron which risked being massacred by the arrival of a very high voltage power line installed by the French electricity board (EDF). Because this valley was in extreme danger, he decided to shoot a film in this region. Jean-Paul Jaud's second objective is to highlight the know-how of certain men and women motivated by a particular passion. He also wants to film the fauna and flora that surrounds us, his particularity being to always depict these portraits as one season flows into another. For him, this is the normal rhythm of nature and life that our civilisation is in the process of forgetting; this rhythm is conveyed through a true documentary that pays homage to these natural cycles. His dearest wish is to continue sharing his love of sport, football, nature, people and life for many years to come.
