He then directed Here and There (2023), which opened the RIDM and was also presented at the United Nations as part of the GMFF, as well as at DOXA. He is currently working on his first feature-length documentary, Au-delà des vagues, recipient of the National Film Board of Canada Award at the Doc Lab Montréal of the RIDM Forum in 2023.
