As a passionate language lover and diligent worker, she recently graduated with a 3 year English degree in British and American Civilization, Translation, and Cinema at the Gustave Eiffel University, near Paris.
Back in the Summer of 2019, she met filmmaker and beloved horse person, Ashley Avis through Instagram. She discovered a real passion for the equine world and wild horse cause thanks to Avis and her movie adaptation of Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty, released in 2020. In addition to being part of an equine-loving family, she has found her own passion in horses; becoming an equestrian and horse advocate.
In July 2021, she started her equestrian journey by taking lessons at a horse school and stables. She has discovered a deep and loving bond with horses and has learned so much from them. In only a year, she has been able to train and learn the basics including dressage, walk, trot and gallop. Bonding with horses allowed her to calm her anxiety, for which she’s been struggling with for many years.
In 2022, she was offered the opportunity to become an intern and member of The Wild Beauty Foundation. She is working alongside the WBF team on developing thoughtful and enriching projects, such as the “Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West” documentary in which she’s making a small appearance.
In her free time, she watches movies, reads books, hangs out at Disneyland, spends time with her friends and family, travels, and actively practices horse riding.
Last but not least, she dreams of working in the cinema industry, traveling, and continuing her equestrian journey.

Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West (2022)
A breathtaking journey and testament to help save wild horses!
Written, directed, produced and narrated by Ashley Avis, "WILD BEAUTY: Mustang Spirit of the West" is an immersive journey through the history of wild horses in North America.
The documentary depicts a detailed investigative report on wild horses' life conditions in public lands and the cruel issues they are facing. Illegal roundups, captures and sales, including animal traffic and slaughter, American wild horses are the victims of humane activities mainly led by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management). Their existence are put at risk as they are massively disappearing.
In collaboration with The Wild Beauty Foundation, the film explore the beauty of wildness through wild horses and their breathtakingly unique herds. All over the world, horse advocates, equestrians and animal welfare protectors gathered to stand with wild horses and asking the government to sign laws to put an end to the inhumane treatment mustangs are going through, for many years.
As a member of The Wild Beauty Foundation, I want to thank endlessly Ashley Avis, her husband and producer Edward Winters as well as the whole Wild Beauty team including our incredible horse advocates and ambassadors. Being a part of the film truly is an immense honor, pride and recognition.
"WILD BEAUTY: Mustang Spirit of the West" is a love letter to wild life, a testament to animal welfare and plight to raise awareness for wild horses. Beautifully shot and narrated, the documentary is making you diving deep into the beauty of wild mustangs and their magical world; but also the cruelty and harshness perpetuated by the brutal roundups and illegal methods.
After nearly five years in the making, Ashley Avis delivers a remarkable amount of dedication, passion and humane spirit through a breathtaking journey to save wild horses along with preserving their natural habitat.
Please share the trailer and the film to everyone around you and tell them to call their law makers. Together and united, we can make a huge difference.
My name is Célina Seillier and I stand with wild horses, forever.
