BETTY & JOHNNY THUNDER – A Panther Story

An Exclusive World-First Sneak Preview During Paris Fashion Week

We are delighted to announce the first public presentation of our latest production through an exclusive invitation-only test screening and sneak preview, taking place in Paris during Fashion Week, around 6th October.

This intimate event has been conceived to introduce the film to its very first audience and gather valuable impressions before its official international release.

Film Synopsis

Running Time: 45 minutes

Pilot Episode of a forthcoming 10-part television series

Betty & Johnny Thunder – A Panther Story is a visually powerful cinematic drama and allegory exploring love, exile, loyalty, resilience and survival.

Set between the sophistication of Paris and Milan, the vibrant beauty of Marrakech and the isolation of a mysterious desert installation, the film follows Betty and Johnny—two magnificent black panthers whose lives are suddenly transformed by events beyond their control.

Separated by destiny but united by an unbreakable bond, their parallel journeys unfold through moments of beauty, danger, sacrifice and hope. Rich in emotion, compelling dialogue and extraordinary imagery, the film creates a cinematic experience where every frame is composed with the precision and elegance of fine-art photography.

As the opening chapter of an ambitious ten-part television series, the film introduces audiences to an original universe where emotion, nature and storytelling come together in a uniquely immersive visual language.
