Nicolas Duval and I met at Cannes where we spoke about his two film projects, 1) Raging Ball (2007) and 2) Peter Pan (2012) (pre-production). We hung out various times and each time he carted his dvd screener for Peter Pan around with him; like every actor and director at Cannes, he was in search of a producer. Now he has found his producer and has begun production on Peter. He will tell us more about Peter in the near future but for now, he speaks with animatedly about his first short, Raging ball:

Nicolas: "For Raging Ball my inspiration was shaolin soccer or make a fun film
like
kick ass (or soon scott spilgrim) just to make audience a have fun to
watch a movie and a good moment. It has won The HD festival
in but I dont do many festivals because I launched Peter just after
finishing it would like to make a feature and like "pixel" of
patrick jean I think I cant do feature of tabble soccer. thanks
vanessa for all" -Nicolas Duval  

Stills for his feature treatment of Peter, now in production.
