Biography
Biography
He began making films and long-form videos while a student. He shot videos for Télévision Suisse Romande in the late 1990s before turning to directing his first feature, Post Mortem in 1999. His follow-up was Lauzon-Lauzone, a documentary about director Jean-Claude Lauzon, and a second feature in 2003, Gaz Bar Blues. Influenced by the man-of-the-people-docudrama style of John Cassavetes and Ken Loach, he has said that "there aren’t any new stories to tell; all that matters is the telling."
