Marco Nguyen is a French animator, known for his work on French feature films, as well as for his short film Lisa, which served as the pilot for an unproduced television series, and for his award-winning student film Le Building. He directed the music video for Tryo's song "Greenwashing", served as an animation director on the 2011 French film The Rabbi's Cat, and served as an assistant director on the 2019 French film The Swallows of Kabul. In 2017, he received an Annie Award nomination in the Character Animation category for The Big Bad Fox & Other Tales. Nguyen also developed cutscenes for the 2018 video game Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom.

Nguyen attended Gobelins, l'École de l'image.[1] In 2004, he created two short student films - Burp and Hector, the latter of which was co-directed with Antoine Birot, Lisa Pacalet, and Bertrand Piocelle.[2][3][4] The following year, he created his group thesis film, Le Building, with Pierre Perifel, Xavier Ramonède, Olivier Staphylas, and Rémi Zaarour. Le Building uses a combination of 2D and 3D animation.[5] On the film's official website, Nguyen is the only one of the filmmakers credited with having contributed animation in both mediums.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

All three of Nguyen's student films have received screenings in international film festivals,[1][12][13][14][15][16] and Le Building has won several awards,[17][11] including Best Undergraduate Animation at the Ottawa International Animation Festival.[18]
