Biography
Despite not considering herself an actress, she appeared in the film as its lead character, as she felt that could not afford to pay a professional actress. She followed up in 2019 with L.A. Tea Time, a semi-fictionalized documentary about her own road trip across the United States with friend and colleague Isabelle Stachtchenko. The film was longlisted for the 2019 DGC Discovery Award. In 2025 she released I Lost Sight of the Landscape (J'ai perdu de vue le paysage), a film about the development of her relationship with playwright Gabriel Charlebois Plante.
Works named in the authority record are L.A. Tea Time and Winter Claire.
