During his years of intensive training in China and early work as a stuntman with fellow Shaolin graduate and French compatriot Lohan Buson, Fabien was one of the founding member of the Z Team, the first foreign martial action team based in China. He directed and starred in a series of short films which received several international film festivals nominations, garnered over a million hits online and consequently saw him won the "Male Action Performer" Award at the California-based Action on Film International Festival (AOF). In 2009, Fabien made the move to Los Angeles where he formed the production company Z Team Films, LLC. He directed and starred in action/martial arts feature film Die Fighting distributed in North America by Gravitas Ventures and Internationally by Lighthouse Pictures.
