Juliette Poitras is an emerging Montreal-based director and producer. She graduated with a BFA in Film Production from the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema at Concordia University in 2019. She was awarded the prestigious Mel Hoppenheim Award for Outstanding Overall Achievement, presented each year to a film production student who has demonstrated exceptional excellence. Guided by a deep sensitivity, Juliette is drawn to stories where the intimate meets the universal. Her work, whether in fiction or documentary, explores with nuance the themes of childhood, identity, love and family dynamics. She is particularly interested in narrative forms that move away from traditional structures, creating works that rely on emotion, observation and a visual approach attentive to the subtle details of the real.
In this intimate documentary, the filmmaker delicately examines the complex relationships that evolve, fracture, and reshape among the children of a blended family after a breakup. By pushing the boundaries of the "desktop documentary" format, she crafts a poignant and heartfelt portrait of a grief rarely acknowledged, offering a unique and compelling exploration of loss and connection.
