In 2006, Quivrin wrote and directed a short film entitled "Acteur", which was intended to be both anecdotal and representative of the life of an actor. The film is centred on a conversation between a female director and an auditioning actor and, according to Quivrin, deals with “the clear separation you have to make between your personal and professional lives”. The character of the director, played by Nathalie Baye, was inspired by Catherine Breillat, whom he had met at several auditions.
