Rebecca Houzel co-founded the production company Petit à Petit at the end of 2006. It produces mainly documentaries, selected and awarded at numerous festivals in France and abroad, a significant proportion of which are destined for theatrical release. She supports both young and established filmmakers. At the heart of her production choices is the need she perceives among filmmakers for films that change the way they look at the issues and territories they explore. It has developed an international network, particularly to produce Eastern European auteurs, and is beginning to develop feature-length fiction films.
