Production

Nicolas Lopez, originally from the city of Martigues, and Ange Basterga, a Corsican who grew up in Seine-Saint-Denis, invested all their savings to write, direct and self-produce the film Caïd in 2017. The film was only entitled to 4 days of shooting with non-professional actors. Caïd won the prize for Best Feature Film at the Festival Polar de Cognac. The production company FrenchKiss Pictures and Netflix decided to make a series. The two directors rewrote the story with Nicolas Peufaillit (A Prophet by Jacques Audiard) in 10 episodes of 10 minutes. They shot again in Martigues in 2020 with the same crew of actors with a found footage technique.
