Biography

Dominique Farrugia, a multifaceted personality, initially gained recognition as a writer for the renowned comic group "Les Nuls", consisting of Alain Chabat, Chantal Lauby, and Bruno Carette. This talented trio captivated French television audiences on Canal +, enjoying a remarkable six-year run.

Following their six-year stint on TV, the group decided to branch out and create their own film, Fear City: A Family-Style Comedy, in 1994.
