A graduate of La fémis, Guillaume Brac made two shorts while studying there, Le Funambule presented at Premiers Plans in 2006, and Une aventure de Valentine broadcast on Arte in 2007. He then worked as an assistant for directors including Arnaud des Pallières and Emmanuel Mouret, and developed his own feature, Juillet, which was supported by the Ateliers d'Angers in 2007. Brac and another director friend set up the production studios, Année Zéro. In 2009, they produced Le Naufragé together, with very little money, but a great deal of enthusiasm.
