She then joined Tchack, where she developed and directed Stuffed (2024), co-produced by Gao Shan Pictures. She particularly likes women’s stories and gender cinema. As an emerging author, Louise Labrousse aims to promote the role of women in the field of filmmaking. In 2022, she co-founded the feminist production association Filles En Feu.
