Biography

Francesc Xavier Manuel (La Seu d’Urgell, 1988) is a Lleida-born animation screenwriter, active since 2009. Graduated in Audiovisual Communication at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, he debuted as a junior writer for TV3’s satirical sketch-show “Polònia”. Thanks to a “la Caixa” scholarship, he took an MFA in Screenwriting at Chapman University and worked for studios like Nickelodeon, Titmouse or Disney Jr. Once back in Barcelona last 2017, he wrote for TV cartoons like “I, Elvis Riboldi” by Peekaboo Animation or “Misha, the purple cat” and “Jasmine & Jambo” by Teidees. He’s also worked as a story consultant and recently wrote two commissioned animated feature films for Hampa Studio in Valencia and Uniko in Bilbao. But that’s not all: he’s actually a bunch of cats under a trench coat. Plot twist!
