Sebastien Dumesnil
is an award-nominated film director, writer and producer
and the founder of Futureal Studio.
In his first feature-length
documentary film, Adventures
Into Digital Comics (2007), Dumesnil continued
to explore the theme. The film discusses the failure
of the comic book industry to communicate with an audience
in the US in the mid-90s to mid-2000s and how some artists
who had nowhere to go because of ashrinking market,
chose to go on the Internet to showcase unique works
in the hope to discover a brand new way to distribute
original artistic content. The film featured many comic
book and webcomic writers and artists and showcased
the work of artists from around the world. The film
was nominated in the Best Documentary Film category
at the Tel Aviv Icon Film Festival and was later showcased
at the Seoul International Cartoon & Animation Festival.
Dumesnil recently
developed an intellectual property for 11 Eleven Entertainment.
He is currently developing two comic book movies, a
US adaptation which shall remain secret for now and
the adaptation of cult French super-hero comic book
Mikros
created by Jean-Yves Mitton.
