With Sylvie Ohayon, she co-wrote the screenplay of the 2021 film Haute Couture.[5]

The movies Stella (2008) and Stella In Love (2022) are both references to Verheyde's childhood.[6] Sex Doll (2016) and Madame Claude (2021) are both movies about prostitution, again a topic close to Verheyde as her grandmother and one of her cousin were prostitutes.[7]
