Studio Projects:


Dream Land:
Ever since his moth­er died in a fire, Ter­rence has seclud­ed him­self in an emo­tion­less world. He goes through his dai­ly teenag­er life apa­thet­i­cal­ly… with one excep­tion! The sim­ple sight of a flame plunges him into a world of fear, an awak­en ver­sion of his night­mares – for, every time he falls asleep, he help­less­ly relieves the trag­ic event, thus rekin­dling his pyro­pho­bia. Until that one night he can’t bear it any­more and stops run­ning away from the dev­il­ish flames. Lit­tle does he know that, by doing so, he over­came his great­est fear and became a Trav­el­er: a very spe­cial kind of Dream­er, able to explore Dream­land, the dimen­sion born from mankind’s dreams… and nightmares!

Living with Dad:
Welcome to Dad’s… Or rather, to Dad’s Girls: Babybella, Roxane, Ondine and Panda! Four sisters – 2, 8, 12 and 18 years old – as different as each of their respective mothers! On the other hand, they share the same actor father who has to himself the part of his life by taking care of his four beloved daughters.
