The summit of the Gods is directed and co-written by Imbert, co-written and produced by Jean-Charles Ostoréro. The César Award-winning composer Amine Bouhafa (Timbuktu) created the score. The 94-minute film is produced by Didier Brunner and Damien Brunner for Folivari (France), Stéphan Roelants for Mélusine Productions (Luxembourg); Julianne Films is also a producer.
