Nadia Micault
Brussels (Belgium)
As a little kid, Nadia Micault wanted to become a professional drawing artist, a fun one if possible. As life has been tricky but generous anyway, she did become an animation film director.
Micault was born in a little town in the middle of nowhere in France. Creating stuff was a relief in this ocean of boredom. She was absolutely focused on giving her little characters "life". Little Nadia followed her parents to several small towns during her childhood until she moved to The-big-city-Paris, right after graduation. There, she studied graphic design. Soon after, she worked on national animation TV series production, then for music labels, films productions, ads, small projects, big projects etc. the usual.
These days, Micault works on her personal short film projects, and writes her first long feature film.
Her work has been rewarded at several occasions :
