DIRECTOR
-Despite the fact that he just realized his first full-length feature, François Pirot is already a well-established film author. He co-wrote Joachim Lafosse’ s “Élève libre” and “Private Property”. Both the critics and the general public agree on the quality of the script. Pirot has already directed many short-length features including “Retraite”, which received many prestigious awards (Grand Prix at the Festival Le court en dit long 2005, Grand Prix for best first European short-length feature at the Festival Premiers Plans d’Angers 2006) and aired on television on Arte. Today, Tarantula is proud to be producing works from this promising author.
