« A megalomaniac and all-powerful director. Comedians picked up in the lowlands. A team overwhelmed by events. Sure… But they have in their hands the greatest fiction of all times! »
Following the 25th Annual YDA in Cannes, we are proud to present this new film, made using the simple tagline « Born To Create Drama » .
The film, directed and co-written by Frank Ychou and produced by Cédric Barus and Pierre Cazenave, was chosen to open the YDA screening on Thursday 23rd June 2022.
Director Frank Ychou says of the inspiration behind the film, « I started from the principle that if humans was born to create drama, the creation of humans was therefore the origin of drama. »
He goes onto explain that he wanted to « make a metaphor of artistic creation through the spectrum of The Original Creation. This new film is a love letter for our job and for those who allow films to exist. »
This « Born To Create Drama » film was produced by Paris-based SOLDATS.
