So, there I was in 2009, surrounded by the ruins of crashed video game studios, and I had a crazy idea: start an animation studio in Lyon, France. I got my most talented and dedicated friends on board, and together we built Fauns from the ground up. We worked with big names like National Geographic, ARTE, and BBC, creating amazing projects like “Battlescar, Punk was Invented by Girls” and “Living Universe.”
But life throws you curveballs, right? I had to make the tough decision to sell Fauns. It was heartbreaking, but it turned out to be the right move. Fauns is still thriving today, and when I look back on the incredible journey, the laughs, the late nights, and the fantastic team, I can’t help but feel grateful. Life’s funny that way.
