    Christophe Fustini began his career in the film industry as a technician for 7 years, before directingTutto o niente<\/em>, a short film produced by Rezina and broadcast at various festivals and on 13\u00e8me Rue in 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A two-time winner of the Fondation Beaumarchais, Christophe won awards for Euro-Krona<\/em>, an animated short, and for Dromomania<\/em>, a historical feature inspired by the first man diagnosed as a “traveling madman”<\/em>.<\/strong> A versatile creative, he writes in all genres and formats, from fiction to documentary to animation.<\/span><\/p>\n

    After selling a comedy script to Arcadia, Christophe co-wrote several animated shorts, including Le Chant des grenouilles<\/em> (stop-motion), Les Bienfaiteurs<\/em> (2D) and Aube<\/em> (3D). He has also worked on short fiction films such as O M\u00e0! <\/em>(drama), broadcast on OCS and awarded at numerous festivals, and Duplicata<\/em> (fantasy comedy), widely broadcast on BE 1, Cin\u00e9+ and OCS. <\/span><\/p>\n

    In 2025, Christophe has two new short films in post-production: Le temps d’une cigarette<\/em> (slice of sentimental life) and \u00c0 pic !<\/em> (2D animation).<\/span>
    In recent years, he has devoted most of his time to writing for other directors. He is currently developing two feature film projects: Nagata<\/em>, a sentimental story exploring environmental issues through two parallel worlds, and SmartHouse<\/em>, a work of anticipation that questions the impact of new technologies on married life. <\/span><\/p>\n

    At the same time, Christophe puts his expertise at the service of other productions, festivals and grant commissions as a reader.<\/span><\/p>\n
