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. After a few years as a devel­op­ment exec­ut­ive in Par­is, he decided to spe­cial­ize in inter­na­tion­al pro­jects and returned to UCLA for an MFA in screen­writ­ing and pro­du­cing. After switch­ing from film to tele­vi­sion pro­duc­tion, he began work­ing for Fox Tele­vi­sion, where he was involved in devel­op­ment and pro­duc­tion of TV shows such as DHARMA & GREG, STARK RAV­ING MAD, TIT­US, LIFE’S TOO SHORT, work­ing with the tech­nic­al staff of BUFFY, X‑FILES, NYPD BLUE.

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. He has writ­ten, adap­ted for the screen or super­vised the script­ing of over 40 TV I.P.s, includ­ing Marvel’s FANT­AST­IC 4 and IRON MAN, CASPER, SPIROU & FANTA­S­IO, JET GROOVE, GORM­ITI, SAM­SON & NÉON, INVIS­IBLE MAN, LE MAR­SIP­U­LAMI, BASKUP TONY PARK­ER, THE LINKERS, TROLLS DE TROY, XIAOL­IN CHRON­ICLES, Luc Besson’s ARTHUR & MIN­IMOYS and suc­cess­fully adap­ted the hit series SKAM for France.
