Born in Par­is, Cyril first stud­ied film­mak­ing at the Sor­bonne, then at UCLA. He then learnt hands-on pro­duc­tion on the sets of Tim Burton’s Edward Scis­sorhands and Laurence Kazdan’s pro­duced film Dizzi­ness. His career in screen­writ­ing and devel­op­ment began at com­pan­ies like Pan­dora, Arte, Canal Plus, Equi­noxe and Tele Images.

Back in Par­is, he was in charge of devel­op­ing sev­er­al anim­a­tion series and fea­tures, includ­ing Dragon Hunters. He then became a full-time inde­pend­ent screen­writer, head writer and story edit­or.
