We are Quad Lab

- who we are

QUAD LAB IS MULTI-EMMY AWARD NOMINATED PRODUCTION COMPANY BASED IN PARIS & LONDON.

Global producers of documentaries, unscripted programs, feature films and TV series.

 

Every great story starts with a great character. An athlete. A musician. An icon. It’s real people. You can’t write them. You have to find them. We bring to every subject everything cinema has taught us about character : how to build tension around a life and how to make an audience genuinely care. Not about the story. About the person living it.

We don’t make content.
We make films that last.
Told once and told right.

We go where cameras haven’t been.
Inside the world of sport, fashion, gastronomy, heritage and politics with the kind of access that changes what a documentary can be.
We ask one question: what is happening in Europe right now that the world hasn’t seen yet?

Premium films built around iconic figures.
We follow iconic figures into their most private, defining moments and find stories the whole world can recognize itself in.

When Real Life is greater than fiction.
We chase the complex, extraordinary cases and true crimes as a lens to reveal something deeper about who we are: society, psychology, politics, and the institutions that define the modern world.

Team

YANN LE BOURBOUACH

Founder of Quad Lab and Associate Producer at Quad Group

After 20 years in film production and distribution, he co-founded Quad Lab in 2019. His vision was clear: apply the craft of cinema to the documentaries and unscripted programs. To real stories. To master the art of making audiences care.

Yann Le Bourbouach has spent much of his career in the film industry. At Warner Bros. and later at Gaumont, he helped oversee the release and promotion of films that went on to become major hits both, international and french, including Million Dollar Baby, Matrix, Harry Potter, Very Bad Trip, Christopher Nolan’s Batman, Intouchables, Polisse and Les Petits Mouchoirs.

Passionate about human stories and the world of sports, he produced the Emmy Award nominated Tour de France : Unchained, a series that helped reshape how an international audience views the Tour de France; Gabart: quand gagner ne suffit plus, a spectacular four-year immersion into the private life of the talented French skipper; and the documentary series Roland Garros: between the lines, a unique behind-the-scenes experience in the realm of clay courts.

His fascination with the world of sports does not prevent him from also exploring significant events in recent French political history, such as The Bettencourt Affair: The Bilionaire, the butler and the boyfriend, which was nominated for the 2024 International Emmy Awards.

CHARLES BESNARD

Executive Producer

After 15 years in cinema production alongside Jacques Audiard, Céline Sciamma, Dominik Moll and the greatest directors in the world, Charles brings something rare to documentary: the standards of large-scale cinema production. He has shot across the world, from auteur projects to major international productions. He approaches reality with the same intensity, the same precision, the same standards, and the same obsession for craft as the greatest works of cinema.

Charles Besnard has built much of his career in scripted as well. As production manager on Jacques Audiard’s films for ten years, and later working alongside prestigious international directors, he has established himself as a key figure in the industry, contributing to the success of major works such as Jackie, Les Frères Sisters, and Jappeloup.

Armed with this solid hands-on experience, he now works at Quad Lab, eager to take on new production challenges by applying the same attention to detail and meticulous logistical expertise from feature-length fiction to documentaries and unscripted programming.
