Due to a passion for field action, for ten years, among other assignments she covered a great many multisport expeditions all other the world for international TV channels.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to directing many topical magazine programmes for channels specializing in sports, she worked at documentary films dealing with social themes - notably some related to the textile industry as well as to the ecological and social policies implemented by the local administration in the Rhône aréa.</p><p> </p><p>In 2010, she set up KRAF PROD, her own production firm. Her passion for eclectism in the choice of topics has induced her to launch forth into variety of projects liable to take her to the highest summits in the alps as well as into the very jobs of craftmens on the site where all the chandeliers of Versailles Palace were being restaured !</p><p> </p><p>Contrary to the present trend causing a great many films to turn obsolete on being viewed, she's keen on artistic creation and how to deal with theme so as to fill spectators with full and enduring bliss. In telling her stories she makes human adventure an absolute priority.</p><p> </p><p><img alt="Marlene_koubi_4-1489338611" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/401864/Marlene_koubi_4-1489338611.jpg"></p>
