ON THE LINE
Documentary, 2019 Writer/Director/Associate Producer Over the last 20 years, the Canadian and American women’s hockey teams have dominated their sport, trading gold medals back and forth. In their bid to be the best, these two teams have pushed each other, and together they have taken the game to new heights. But familiarity also breeds contempt; a rivalry this long-standing is bound to become personal. Every game is a new chapter in an old story and behind it all is an insatiable drive to beat the best in order to be the best. Told from the perspective of the players themselves, ON THE LINE is a first-hand account of what it’s like to be a part of the greatest rivalry in sports. Produced by Clique Pictures in partnership with Bell Media, TSN, Rogers Documentary Fund. Awards Winner - Canadian Screen Award for Best Direction of a Doc Series Winner - Canadian Screen Award for Best Picture Editing of a Documentary Nominee - Golden Sheaf Award for Best History/Biography Documentary

INSIDE THESE WALLS
Documentary, 2016
Writer/Director
INSIDE THESE WALLS is the story of Wang Bingzhang—the founding father of the Chinese overseas pro-democracy movement. Wang is currently serving a life sentence in solitary confinement in China after his kidnapping in 2002. His estranged family back in Montreal, whom he abandoned to pursue his activism, has inherited the legacy of a man they barely know, and after many years, they find themselves the only people left fighting for his freedom. From prison, Wang sends letters that reveal a man who is at once loving, deeply depressed, angry, confused, and slowly losing his grip on reality. INSIDE THESE WALLS is a story about family, idealism, and a universal question—how much should the individual sacrifice for the greater good?
Produced by Prospector Films in partnership with CBC Firsthand, SODEC, CALQ, CMF.
