Pascale Hecquet
Graphic designer, illustrator and animated film-maker, Pascale Hecquet has written six short films which have received many prizes at film festivals all over the world. A mother of two, Pascale is particularly interested in making films for young audiences.

THE PENGUIN is her most recent short film.
