Both graduates of Supinfocom, Burcu & Geoffrey began making films together whilst studying. This talented young duo is made up of Burcu, a young woman from Istanbul with a passion for illustration and design, and Geoffrey, from France, who has a passion for 3D animation and all the technical aspects of this art form. Together, these two enthusiastic directors create 3D animations that combine rich detail and colourful worlds with a highly graphic 2D look.

Since joining Troublemakers 8 years ago, they have animated and directed a host of films, including campaigns for the Alhambra range for jewellers Van Cleef & Arpels, in which they have established an elegant and singular style. Their animations are bursting with life, featuring a host of animals in richly detailed settings.

.leva is a French artist who studied in Paris as a designer, then later on was hired as an artist director at a television channel in the French capital.

His love for stop-motion began five years ago, when he felt that he needed to get away from the screen, and he didn’t want to spend the entire days behind his desk. Originally, he started experimenting with paper shapes in his work, which he then replaced by other organic and natural basic elements.

Today, he has worked with several prestigious brands including Hermès, Prada, Perrier, Evian… which give him, ‘carte blanch’ to create films.

is a writer-director who likes to mix techniques such as stop-motion, 3D animation, and live action.

Roman’s passion for comics and current affairs has led him to delve into the world of fantastical concepts, with a thematic focus on realistic issues. Identity, metamorphosis, and monstrosity at the heart of his artistic reflections.
Today, his style, a crossroads of different visual techniques, is expressed through collaborations with musicians, helping to shape and design their visual identity, or in engaging advertising films. Since his first film, Roman has alternated between personal and commissioned work, always with the same ambition of combining visual exploration with unexpected, funny and poetic stories.

“Nous travaillons depuis deux ans sur le lancement de notre département fiction et documentaires. Un travail de longue haleine qui nous a permis de développer des concepts forts qui nous tenaient à cœur depuis longtemps, en associant nos réalisateurs à des scénaristes de fiction francophone ou anglo-saxon. Une opportunité pour nous de revenir vers nos premiers amours puisque Robin Noël (producteur) et moi-même provenons tous deux du long métrage. Une opportunité enfin de développer des concepts et des histoires en privilégiant la narration longue, tout en préservant nos fondamentaux de fond et de forme à travers des projets singuliers et sincères”
