Marc-Benoît Créancier is a film producer. A graduate of FEMIS in 2010, he created his own production company, Easy Tiger, and won the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016 with the film divine. In just a few years, this former dancer from the Paris Opera has managed to find a place for himself in an ultra-competitive sector.

Marc-Benoît has always been fascinated by cinema. But before touching his dream, he had a few detours. Dancer at the Paris Opera, porter at the Hotel Coste to finance his studies at FEMIS, apprentice actor and director… So many experiences that forged in him a taste for effort and rigor. " It takes a bit of sacrifice for the result to have value he says.

Student at the University of Paris-Nanterre in cinema, he goes through internships and understands that the job with which he is ultimately the most in tune is that of producer. A shadow job often reduced to its sole financial aspect. Determined, Marc-Benoît joined FEMIS and produced, as part of an internship, within the production company Dharamsala, his first short film. It's free for girls, directed by Claire Burger and Marie Amachoukeli, also received the César for Best Short Film in 2010. This first success reinforced me in the fact that I could trust my gaze and tell myself that if I could do it for someone else, I could also do it for myself. "He says.

From shorts to feature films

After graduating in 2010, he created Easy Tiger and starts with the production of short films. His goal: to build a gallery of talents hoping that they have enough potential to go to the long run. Before believing in a story, Marc-Benoît believes in encounters, in vision and in the need for a person to take a camera. " You have to have a playful spirit and to win once you have to have bet two or three times on the side »

In 2016, after having produced a short film directed by Houda Benyamina, he put it right by producing his first feature film which won the Camera d'or at the Cannes and the César for best first film. Marc-Benoît then passed into the big leagues and gained credibility with agents, financiers... He took advantage of this fresh notoriety and produced new feature films including Magnetics by Vincent Cardona. Success is again on the agenda with a selection at the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes in 2021 and the César for best first film in 2022.
Today, Marc-Benoît exudes a quiet strength behind which his teams rely to journey, create and build films that offer a new vision and provoke, if the magic works, an emotion.
