Guillaume 'Run' Renard

Guillaume “Run” Renard is an accomplished animator, director, and writer. His work has a modern approach, with an interest in social outcasts. The background of his work is tinged with modern concerns such as terrorism, the quest for identity, ecological issues, and the temptation of radicalization for young people. His first animated short, Mutafukaz: Operation Blackhead (2003), a Sundance Festival selection, was the start to his “Mutafukaz” universe. His debut feature film, Mutafukaz (2017), co-directed with Nishimi Shojiro, had its world premiere at Annecy International Animation Festival and has since been released on Netflix in the United States as MFKZ.
