For the simple pleasure of acting, she founded LAB’I [an Improvisation lab], an original form of theatrical improvisation that inspired other such labs as far away as Abitibi!

Tobie Marier Robitaille, DOP. After a college degree in Film, instead of taking the usual road to university, Tobie Marier Robitaille chooses an apprenticeship that suits him personally. Self-taught, he learns through his readings, his meetings with filmmakers and his experiences. He participates in several important projects: one-off documentaries, documentary series (Urbania, Montréal en 12 lieux…), commercials and fiction films (Portes ouvertes, Tir au but…). His passion is working with light which he shapes in an intuitive way. Tobie has finished the shooting of his first feature-length fiction film.

David Running is a musician. He was born in Quebec city of Irish-French origins. He now lives in the Eastern Townships in the province of Québec. David is a song-writer and artist. Most of his songs are written in english, although recently he has added a handful of french compositions to his repertoire. Annie Molin Vasseur has collaborated on written some of the lyrics.  His writing explores cheery universal themes such as the communion of souls, loss and death.

Carlito Ghioni, First Assistant Director, is of Italian origin and has traveled throughout Europe, Africa and America. He has directed documentaries: Disjonction, Steel Calling, Roba de nenes… and short fictions : Tir au but, Cavallino, and Portes ouvertes… He is presently finishing the writing of two feature film screen plays. As an experienced camera operator (Steadicam, Motion control), he knows how to ally technical competence with creativity. He teaches screen writing on a regular basis, in Turino. A must-know about Carlito: he is a complete soccer fanatic!
