As an artist, I see my career as a learning process. After finishing every project, I raise my expectations for the quality, intricacy, professionalism and depth of my work to force myself to reach greater heights.

In 2023, I will finally be hosting the premiere to my 6th and 7th short films. My latest project stars a "Gémeaux" prize winning actress : Léanne Désilets. A shorter cut of this same project was made and submitted to a film festival where it won the prizes of "Best Director" as well as "Best Fiction". The best is yet to come, I have ambitious plans for the following years.

"An abstract short film that sheds light on the bad habits of the society in which we evolve, but in a dark satiric & cynical way." This project challenged me in every single aspects of its creation. It was the very first time I had support and professional equipment on set. I remain to this day very proud of this creation.
