When there he made Le Jour où le soleil s'est éteint in 2005, and Les Heures creuses in 2006. Le Silence des machines was made in collaboration with Kostia Testut as part of the la fémis ateliers-masterclass. Kostia Testut was born in 1980. After a masters degree in computer sciences and communication at la Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris 3), he joined the scriptwriting department of la fémis as the same time as Paul Calori.
