Nathalie Combe has invested her passion for literature primarily in her university research which was successfully completed in 1996 with a doctoral thesis on the Italian philosopher Carlo Michels-taedter. She then chose an independent voice and collaborated with the editors and literature reviews (Prévue, Europe) for some support, some work in writing and translation. In 1998, she created Pharos with Yann Sinic, where she deviated from scriptwriting and acting as a production assistant. Together, she and Sinic wrote the story and scenes for their first films, particularly La Conscience de Svevo.
