CO-PRODUCER
After studying cultural production at UQAM and finishing a specialized graduate diploma in management at HEC, Rosalie Chicoine Perreault began her career in cinema. In 2019, she began working at Metafilms, a Montréal based production company owned by renowned producers Sylvain Corbeil and Nancy Grant. She now also focuses on developing her own projects as an emerging producer. She searches for projects and filmmakers with a unique vision that stand out from the current cinematographic landscape, both in fiction and documentary.
