Both born in the Paris region, Julie Rembauville studied literature and audiovisual at the Sorbonne and Nicolas Bianco-Levrin studied applied arts at the Duperré school. They first published books for young people while animation offers itself to them as a ground for experimenting with four-handed narratives.
They self-produced their first films within their association Prototypes Associés, trying out all kinds of techniques before working with Sacrebleu productions for their project of series Kroak in 2009, adaptation of the albums of the same name. In 2012, Folimage and the NFB co-produce Merci mon chien (pre-purchase Canal +) whose script received the SACD prize at the MIFA in Annecy.

Their latest film, Vielle Peau, won the festival grant/Auvergne-Rhône Alpes Cinéma at the MIFA Annecy in 2016 and is beginning its journey to festivals, alongside others of their very short films for young people, made in the spontaneity of the self-production house. In fifteen years, Julie and Nicolas have directed together more than together more than thirty short films distinguished in many international festivals.
