Antonin Baudry

Passionate about literature, he founded the Albertine bookstore, which is today a reference for Francophile Americans. Under the pen name of Abel Lanzac, he signed the graphic novel "Quai d'Orsay" (released in the US and the UK as « Weapons of Mass Destruction ») and received the prize for the best album at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2013. He co-wrote the film adaptation made by Bertrand Tavernier, who won the prize for the best screenplay at San Sebastián International Film Festival. After long dreaming of becoming a filmmaker, Antonin Baudry masterfully took the challenge, directing Le Chant du Loup. The film, released in February 2019, distributed in more than fifty countries and endowed with a prestigious cast (François Civil, Mathieu Kassovitz, Reda Kateb, Omar Sy, Paula Beer and Damien Bonnard) was a success both critical and public. Centered and based on sound and an acoustic universe, the film received César Award for Best Sound.
