CHALLENGING ASSUMPTIONS

Founded in 2008, Eliotness is the fiction department of Troublemakers, a production company based in the heart of Paris. We create images and words with a focus on narrative, content and form through unique projects. Stories that speak to everyone. Stories that create honest and sincere films. Our producers and directors are above all united by a common desire to challenge assumptions. Over the years, we have produced more than a hundred films. Some of them have won multiple awards. This experience has led us to want to develop multiple formats, from series to feature film projects.
