Raised in Paris and now based in Los Angeles, Marguerite de Bourgoing is a filmmaker, photographer and writer with a rich background spanning various aspects of media production and cultural exploration.

Marguerite's journey in filmmaking began with her academic pursuits, culminating in a Master's degree in Communication and film studies from USC. Her educational background, which includes studies at Oxford University and the Sorbonne, provided her with a strong foundation in philosophy, art history, and cinema.

Early in her career, Marguerite founded LA Stereo TV, a multimedia production company focused on documenting the urban music scene in Los Angeles. Through this venture, she produced 200+ videos featuring interviews with notable figures ranging from Issa Rae to Future and Wiz Khalifa. This experience provided her with firsthand insight into the cultural landscape she would later explore in her filmmaking.

Marguerite's directorial debut, "The World is Yours"  aired on France Télévision in 2014. This documentary, which delved into the blog rapper scene in the U.S. and France, demonstrated her ability to capture the essence of contemporary urban culture with authenticity and depth.

Her subsequent projects further underscored her commitment to exploring the intersection of music, technology, and society. ​​In 2019, Marguerite produced and directed 
"IT'S YOURS",a feature-length indie documentary that garnered attention on the international festival circuit, solidifying Marguerite's reputation as a filmmaker with a global perspective. Building on the success of "IT'S YOURS," Marguerite directed "HIP-HOP & INTERNET" for Franco-German broadcaster ARTE in 2021, further establishing Marguerite as a  filmmaker with a keen understanding of contemporary trends.

In 2023, Marguerite's creative vision found a new platform with PBS's Digital Voices, where she created and produced the web series "Hip-Hop & the Metaverse". This project not only reflects her ongoing exploration of cutting-edge cultural phenomena but also earned her a nomination for a prestigious Golden Mike Award in the category of "Best Digital News Reporting."

Throughout her career, Marguerite has worked with prestigious organizations such as the Cinémathèque française in Paris, Discovery Channel in London, and renowned photographer Marc Riboud. Her diverse experiences and interdisciplinary background have contributed to her unique perspective as a filmmaker, enabling her to explore complex themes with nuance and depth and push boundaries
