Productrice
Agat Films & Cie / Ex Nihilo form a collective of six producers, brought together by a number of common values with the desire to allow each one to express an individual point of view and sensitivity. This mutual respect lies at the heart of a company culture that strives to maintain the balance between pleasure (each producer's desire) and reality (the smooth running of the company). This basic system has allowed us to launch a production policy going from the search for writers to that for directors with opposing artistic and aesthetic concerns.
