Thankfully, Cadence Films is playing an integral role in that venture. I’m very excited to be represented by them and look forward to working in many genres and across many disciplines with them.”

"The energy, exuberance, and technical complexity of Yuann's work immediately drew us to him," says Lorenzo Ragionieri, co-founder and executive producer of Cadence Films. “Thanks to his incredible knack for weaving vfx and live action, there's nothing Yuann can think of that he can't achieve on screen. We're thrilled to bring his work, and its brand new feel, to the US and European markets."
