In 1991, she collaborated with the dance troupe Brouhaha Danse on Claire, a video and performance tribute to dancer Claire Samson following her murder in 1990. She had initially planned to make her debut feature film about an Olympic swimmer, but had difficulty securing funding; after visiting a friend in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, she rewrote the film's script and rented her friend's house for two months to serve as the film's set. Revoir Julie was released in 1998, and won the Audience Award at the Paris Lesbian Film Festival in 1999.
