Stephanie Lansaque (Marseille, 1978) and François Leroy (Caen, 1978) traveled to Asia for the first time in 2002. They loved the atmosphere so much that they decided to collaborate on their first film, Goodbye Mister Chu. This was followed by three other short films set in Vietnam (Red River Sông Hông, Cold Coffee, and Cadavre Exquis) and two in Hong Kong (Mei Ling, The Awakening of the Insects). With Sisowath Quay, their seventh film, they placed their camera in Cambodia for the first time. Since 2002, they have shared their lives between Paris and Asia.
