In 2018, she founded "Pourquoi Productions Inc.”, focusing on cinema and television. That same year, she produced and starred in director Jean Sébastien Lozeau's debut feature film, "Live Story”.

Guillaume Morin studied at the Université de Montréal, specializing in sound, and he was the sound-man for the short film "Tubers" by "Mountains of Madness Productions". He grew up surrounded by art, especially music, while also buried in books of fantastic stories. Lovecraft and the genre that followed have been with him since a young age. His passion for cinema was passed down by his cinephile father.
