Director: Julien Dexant
Julien Dexant studied graphic design in the parisian art school Estienne (Paris), and then animation at the "Laboratoire d'Imagerie Numérique" in Angoulême, where he graduated in 2001 with the film Metro Psycho Solo. Ego Sum Petrus is a personal project on which he has been working for 8 years, since 2002. Meanwhile, he collaborated as an animator on Jean-Christophe Lie's short film "The Man in the Blue Gordini", and on a few animated features: "U" by Grégoire Solotareff and Serge Elissalde, "Fear(s) of the Dark" with the cartoonists Richard McGuire and Charles Burns, and currently "11", with the cartoonist Pascal Rabaté.
