In 1991, he worked as a consultant for Warner Bros. to help market motion pictures like New Jack City and documentaries like Listen Up : The Lives Of Quincy Jones to French audiences. At the same time, De Longeville worked as a production assistant at music video production companies in Paris and in New York City, working with Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Fab 5 Freddy and Brett Ratner, and collaborating on shows like Yo!
