Welcome to the blog of Minuscule!

7 years ago Thomas Szabo directed a very unique short film, without dialogue and mixing computer-generated insects and real, non-animated landscape shots. After having discovered this film, French producer Philippe Delarue (Futurikon Films), immediately proposed to Thomas and to Hélène Giraud to develop a series of short programmes for TV and a theatrical feature film. This is Minuscule.A first then a second series of TV shorts were produced, earning critical and public acclaim worldwide. The film, which shares the same uniqueness but aims to be bigger and better, is going to need more time in the script writing and in the overall preparation. The shooting of the film, in 3D and cinemascope, starts today in the gorgeous settings of the South of France in the national parks of the Mercantour and the Ecrins. This is what this blog is all about.

As an example, the shooting has complied and implemented many principles to mitigate and minimize its impact on the fragile environments of the protected areas of the Mercantour National Park.

Windy memories from Cannes (during the international film festival) with our partners : the “Parcs Nationaux de France” (French National Parks) – represented by Nathalie Berger (Head of Communication) and Stephan Corporon (Public Relation Officer) – the National Park of Mercantour – represented by Florent Favier (Head of Communication) – and the National Park of Ecrins – represented by Claude Dautrey (Project Manager Culture & Education). Producer Philippe Delarue and Mylène Ollivier (executive producer based in Southern France) were also there along with the two representatives of the film commissions Riviera and Southern Alps, Evelyne Colle and Claude Bouliou.

Futurikon Films (the producer) and the National Parks wanted to establish a partnership as they come together in a common value: the respect of these unique and fragile areas.
The film was shot in the breathtaking scenery of the protected areas of the Mercantour National Park and the Ecrins, thanks to a close collaboration. The final shooting session is scheduled for July …
