François Dumoulin

François entered the industry as a PA for a commercial production company in Paris. Here he cut his teeth on flame compositing, and has not looked back since. 

Making the move to Montreal in 2009, François applied his visionary outlook and astute eye for image composition as client-side VFX Supervisor on sci-fi film Upside Down. He then spent a decade with Rodeo FX, supervising notable projects including The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Lucy, Tarzan and Ant-Man and the Wasp.

François’ outstanding creative and technical artistry have been recognized on Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, for which he was shortlisted for an Academy Award, and Misha Green’s Lovecraft Country, which earned him both an Emmy and VES Award nomination.

He was VFX Supervisor on Denis Villeneuve’s Oscar-nominated Dune and the long-awaited adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s classic graphic novel, The Sandman, before turning the wold pink for Greta Gerwig’s box office smash, Barbie.
