On Facebook, the page "Sous le ciel de Paris" (Under the Paris Sky) has become a viral phenomenon, celebrating the beauty of the French capital. It publishes daily photos and videos offering a poetic perspective on Paris: the alleyways of Montmartre, the banks of the Seine at sunset, the interiors of historic cafés... This content resonates deeply with Paris lovers and generates massive engagement. The photo of the picturesque Rue de l'Abreuvoir in Montmartre is among the most popular posts on "Sous le ciel de Paris," with thousands of likes and shares. This success testifies to the public's enthusiasm for authentic Parisian scenes, whether iconic panoramas or unusual snapshots capturing the soul of the city.
Behind "Under the Paris Sky" is Fernando Nakahodo, a Brazilian curator with a passion for Paris. Each of his posts is carefully chosen or created to highlight a particular aspect of the capital: he might share an archival photograph illustrating Paris of yesteryear or a contemporary snapshot revealing the magic of a street at dawn. Through his passionate eye, Fernando Nakahodo elevates Paris and conveys his sincere admiration for the City of Lights. This approach has allowed him to build a considerable community: his page now boasts over 300,000 loyal followers.
Facing him is Guillaume Sanjorge, a French audiovisual producer. Deeply involved in digital media, Sanjorge was one of the first in France to believe in the potential of the "Duanju" format: mini-series designed for vertical viewing on mobile devices. As early as 2023, he launched this innovative format by producing ultra-short fictional series, with the first two episodes exceeding 700,000 views on Facebook. In April 2025, his work reached a milestone: "Next Door Adventure" became the first French series broadcast on Stardust TV, a leading Asian platform for the vertical format. This first marked France's entry into the global Duanju catalog. A producer, but also an occasional writer and actor, Sanjorge is determined to export French expertise in short, innovative fiction.
The meeting of two worlds
It was the meeting between Fernando Nakahodo and Guillaume Sanjorge that gave birth to a unique project: the launch of an original series co-produced and broadcast jointly on their respective platforms. On one side, the " Sous le ciel de Paris" (Under the Paris Sky) page will bring its vast audience of admirers of the capital; on the other, Guillaume Sanjorge will leverage his production capabilities and his own subscribers (approximately 10,000). The core idea is to offer a short, vertically focused fiction series that exploits the Parisian aesthetic so dear to Fernando, while benefiting from Guillaume's narrative expertise in the short format. Each episode of the series will be released simultaneously on the creators' two Facebook pages, multiplying the audience by combining their communities.
This synergy between digital influence and audiovisual production illustrates a new trend: bringing original stories to life directly on social media. Without prematurely revealing the content of the series in development, we already know that it will take place in Paris.
