Les Petites Planètes ( 2025 ) - Baptiste Ratajski, Charlotte Saunders
Few excerpts from the pitch book for our youth series project "Les Petites Planètes", co-created with Baptiste Ratajski.
He and I have had several opportunities to work with and for a young audience. The children have always amazed us with their questions and their reflections on the world, which are always unexpected, yet also profound and touching.
Through this series project, we hope to give them a voice and engage directly with them to both gather their questions and discuss the topics we wish to address. We envision collaborations with schoolteachers and, if possible, also experts in each of these topics who would be able to explain them in simple terms. We believe it is important to spark children’s curiosity about the meaning of certain concepts that may seem very abstract to us when we’re young, such as love, nature, or dreams, for example. In this sense, our approach also resembles a form of philosophical outreach, as it aims to foster an understanding of the world and of life.

Sacha's Jungle Squad ( 2024 ) - Laura Rodriguez, Cliona Noonan, Charlotte Saunders
Few excerpts from the pitch deck for our youth series project "Sacha's Jungle Squad", co-created with Laura Rodriguez and Cliona Noonan, adapted from the book series "Sacha" written by Alexandre de Moté and illustrated by Joelle Passeron.
In this series, we explore the themes of friendship, family dynamics, sportsmanship and creativity. It’s about finding your place in the world when you don’t exactly fit what’s expected of you. Our characters learn to celebrate the joy of being delightfully different. The series was designed to be light-hearted, funny, and full of heart, addressing common problems kids face, like accidentally embarrassing yourself in front of your friends or getting a birthday present you don’t like, all within the world of the Jungle Sports Club.
Mystère ( 2024 ) - Léa Pulini, Diego De Faria, Charlotte Saunders
Few excerpts from the pitch deck for our youth TV special project "Mystère", co-created with Léa Pulini and Diego De Faria, adapted from the book of the same name, written by Marie-Aude Murail and illustrated by Serge Bloch.
Mystère is a little girl unlike any other. Rejected by her loved ones, she goes on to form a new family made up of the curious characters that call the forest home.
When we put this project together, it was important to us that the children they take pleasure in seeing a strong character their own age who challenges injustice and explores this fantastical world. We give them the tools to understand that love is all around them, that appearances can sometimes be deceiving, and that behind someone who seems grumpy at times may lie a beautiful friendship. It’s also a way of telling little girls that they don’t need Prince Charming to be resourceful, fulfilled, and deeply loved by people other than the typical romantic partner.
With this adaptation of "Mystère" we want to paint a portrait of an independent little girl who is in control of her own life.
