The Studio

Savoir-Faire

Disnosc masters the entire process of financing and manufacturing drawn animation films. Specialized in visual development, storyboarding and drawn animation, we work to uncompromising cinematic technical and graphic quality. Our innovative graphic developments, inspired by the illustrative arts, are designed to appeal to adult film-lovers.

Our production methods are designed to be transparent, efficient and discreet, leaving plenty of room for artistic expression. They must allow us to work in real time, both remotely and on-site. We develop technological bricks specifically designed to support our artistic ambitions. They are constantly evolving and improving to remain economical, ecological and socially innovative, while remaining as close as possible to existing uses.

With our determination to remain on a human scale, we are developing a network of co-producers with complementary specialties to our own.

Working with France

Thanks to its many broadcasters, national and regional public aids, private funds and international tax credit, France is a partner of choice. It is the 3rd largest animation-producing country in the world, and our region, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, is the second most dynamic of the sector in France.

We offer to national and international producers the opportunity to finance, develop, co-produce and manufacture with France, while benefiting from the great talents present in the region.

A team story

The artists we work with form a network of young French and international talents who help to create our projects and convey our editorial line around the world.

We organize the work in such a way as to enable the young artists to develop their skills alongside their more experienced colleagues, and thus build up the loyalty of a long-term team trained in our methods.

We have the immense pleasure of watching them develop year after year.

Bibi Beaurivage, the second home

When Nathan and Fabrice Otaño founded the studio in 2020, they were driven by a shared desire to create a place that would reflect their commitments. Originally from the Basque country, they naturally decided to set up there, and have since built up a relationship of trust with the players in the region and the departement.

The heart of the studio is based where it all began: in Biarritz's Bibi Beaurivage district, in the Otaño family's former home, which has been converted into a warm and friendly workspace. Disnosc is located next to Biarritz airport and its high-speed train station, which links us to Paris, Bordeaux and Angoulême, enabling the studio to stay close to the main studios and artists in the area.

When the team expands beyond twenty, Disnosc has access to additional premises thanks to its close links with the local community. This enables us to control our costs and environmental impact.

Founders

Nathan Otaño

Artistic and Technical Director

Graduating from Gobelins in 2017, Nathan works mainly as a key animator and storyboarder (Gaumont, La Cachette, Sun Creature, Folivari) on French and international co-productions (Netflix, Adult Swim). He set up Disnosc to take artistic risks with adult films, and to develop his own 2D animation pipeline.

Fabrice Otaño

Producer and Studio Director

After a successful career in the digital sector with major groups, Fabrice co-founded the studio for a life project closer to his convictions : a company on a human scale, giving birth to artistic projects in the heart of his region.
