Francis Canitrot studied mathematics and then turned to animation. After training in 3D animation, he worked for several years at Autour de Minuit as a VFX graphic designer and stop-motion decorator (Panic in the Village). It was his meeting with Jérémy Clapin in 2013 that gave him the desire to make his own films. Since then he has worked regularly at Folivari, Xilam and La Station Animation as a production supervisor while developing his own projects.
