Thomas Ceulemans graduated from the Belgian film school RITCS with the short film Etrobo, inspired by Raoul Servais' award-winning animated film Taxandria.
He earned his first professional stripes in the non-fiction world. He sailed the 7 seas and filmed several human interest docuos in Ghana, Brazil, Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia and Honduras. Among others, he created the renowned documentary series 'Wildcard Tanzania' and 'Wildcard Myanmar' where he looks at science from a poetic perspective. And he made 'Couleurs Carolo', a quirky series about Charleroi, the ugliest city in the world that he portrays in a positive light. The adventure only got bigger after that, with highlights being the highly regarded anti-war animation short film 'Daddy went Daddy Did', and ZOOks, a feature-length animation epic of a young heroine saving nature from destruction.For his latest project, Thomas spent six months in Burkina Faso. This resulted in the medium-length feature 'La forêt de Djibril' about a dreamy boy who wants to save his village from desertification.
