Who am i

Director & Screenwriter | Creative Storyteller

Passionate about storytelling, I explore diverse genres — from comedy and drama to mystery and dark humor — bringing together rigor and creativity. With experience in both multicamera studio and on-location shoots, I’ve collaborated with actors of all ages, produced works in French and English, and created content for television, digital platforms, and the big screen.

My short films have earned awards in Canada and internationally, and in 2025 I was selected for the Directors Guild of Canada–Quebec Mentorship Program. From theatre troupes in my youth to my first acting television experience at 13, my journey has evolved from script supervisor to assistant director to director — enriching my expertise in directing, writing, and content creator.

Directing actors

Thanks to my 4 years of training with filmmaker Robert Favreau (Jeu & Gym) and my hands-on experience, I excel at guiding actors—both adults and children—to deliver authentic and nuanced performances.

Technical Versatility & Complex Project Management

With my work as a director and my solid experience as a First Assistant Director on medium budget TV series, my track record reflects leadership, expertise, professionalism, efficiency, collaboration, and empathy. These qualities have earned me contracts to step in and replace directors at a moment’s notice.

Creative Vision & Storytelling

Able to adapt my vision across formats, genres, and languages, I strive to tell stories that are entertaining, moving, and unique—no matter the medium or the audience.
