JÉRÉMIE DUFOUR
Screenwriter, director
I am a writer and director at Spectrum Productions since 2018. I've been making films since I was 16. In 2018, I directed my first short film for Spectrum, which is called Papa and was accepted at the FICL festival in Lévis, Quebec. It's the first time I've directed professional actors in a feature film.
What I like about cinema is that it combines several arts in a single medium. Film has been my passion since I was a kid. I love working with people. The films I'd like to make myself will explore different genres, but I'm open to any stroke of inspiration.
My dream is to become a director and to make it my job. To get there, I need a lot of patience and perseverance. If I feel ready, I'd like to go into feature film. If not, I'll continue with short films.
It was great to have professional actors on the set of my short film Papa. It was a stroke of luck to find the actors last minute, a week before the film. On the set, I was happy, but it was still my first time, so I was anxious that the actors might have a different perception than me, different or higher expectations, but still, everything went well.
My next short film project is in development. It's called Jacob, and I've received a production grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. I'm looking forward to working with professional actors again.
