Yasmine began her artistic journey through film. Alongside earning a Bachelor’s degree in Film Studies from Sorbonne Nouvelle University Paris III, she wrote and directed short films, developing her craft before joining the Nouvelles Écritures program. There, she developed her first series project, À la sueur de ton front, which was optioned by the production company Elephant and subsequently developed with Olivier Abbou and Fabien Adda.

After spending a year working as a junior writer, Yasmine turned her focus to theatre and acting. She joined the Conservatoire of Paris’s 6th arrondissement and further developed her work as an actress through several stage productions, including 86 litres de terre, directed by Léonie Pinto, and Sur la route de rien by Zoë Rozenbaum. She later portrayed the role of Arezou in the second season of Happiness, an Arte web series and a project to which she also contributed as a writer.

She later founded her own theatre company, Shirzan (a Persian term meaning “lioness”). Its first production, Un bout de tissu, is a deeply personal play that she directs herself. Through Shirzan, she aims to create and bring to the stage further stories centred on empowered women.
