I attended my first Kino-Kabaret during Festival du Nouveau Cinéma of Montréal 2010! In less than 72h, I shot a 4'30 black comedy titled HISTOIRE DE POCHES (SANDBAGS STORY).
Gilles Renaud plays a sandbags' champion who lost his magic hand on the eve of a crucial tournament. Maxime Desjardins-Tremblay (Le Ring) completes the cast.
The movie will now take the path of film festivals...

I'm back from my 4 months Artist in Residency in Mexico. The experience was awesome!
I've written my new feature film script, titled A Mexican Dream, which I project to do as a co-production Canada-Mexico. This is a supernatural drama with shamanic accents. I'll pursue the project development in the next months.
I did shoot 13 short documentary portraits as well (lucha libre, "Holy Death" cult, Volcano Paricutin, divers of the Quebrada, Monarcs butterflies sanctuary, etc.). A new clip will be available every month on my YouTube channel. Check it out, it's free!
