Stéphanie Chuat and Véronique Reymond have known each other since their chilhood. Both passionate about theatre, they are trained as actresses and have performed in numerous Swiss and French theatrical productions.

The duo moved on to write and direct their first feature film, THE LITTLE BEDROOM, starring legendary French actor Michel Bouquet. Premiered at the Locarno Film Festival 2010, the film was selected to represent Switzerland at the Academy Awards, was honoured with two Quartz at the Swiss Film Award (Best Fiction Film and Best Screenplay), and received multiple awards in international festivals.
