I am a French-Canadian actor and director inspired by the prairies.
My award-winning films have screened at international festivals such as VIFF, Atlantic IFF, and Vienna Shorts and have been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, SK Arts, SK Filmpool, and Fransaskois cultural council.
My latest film, Gentle Hum of Spring, is currently on the festival circuit and I am working on a new short film.

About me
I am an actor and director who works in French and English. Raised in Saskatchewan, I hold a BFA from Simon Fraser University and a diploma from the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts.
I had a supporting role in La Cartographe (2018) which premiered at Locarno and screened at VIFF and FNC Montreal where it received a Special Mention of the Jury.
My directorial debut, Torch Narrows (2021), won the SIFA awards for Best Short Film and Best Technical Achievement. My second short, Gentle Hum of Spring (2022), was selected for Telefilm’s Not Short on Talent program at Clermont-Ferrand and won the awards for Best Saskatchewan Short at RIFFA and Best Canadian Short at Cinéma sous les étoiles. My work examines rural life and humanity's interactivity to its ecological environment.
Alongside my art practice, I work with bees and honey production.
