Hugo Frassetto graduated from the Beaux-Arts school in Clermont-Ferrand and continued his studies at the La Poudrière directing school (Bourg-lès-Valence), where he made his graduation film Traverser (2008) in sand animation. From 2009, he worked as an animator on various films and made the short films La Garde-barrière (2011) and Braise (2012). Together with Sophie Tavert Macian, he wrote and realised Traces (2019), a short film in animated painting and sand, techniques he particularly loves.
