Biography

He grew up in his uncle’s video store in Hawkesbury, Ontario, where his love for film was sparked.  While studying at the University of Montreal in Communications, he realized he could hack his way into working in the world of media. That’s exactly what he did. First hosting radio shows, then landing a director/producer/host job for a TV show showcasing Canadian indie music. Then, he rode his skateboard across Québec for a travel show. Didier developed his skills as a storyteller while directing music videos; he was nominated for several awards including Best director at the 2017 MuchMusic Video Awards, IDFA and the Prism Prize for his project with electronic producer CRi. He was also nominated for several awards in television and advertising for his unique genre-bending approach.

IF is his first short film. It is the most personal project that he has written and directed to date. His love for the medium and his technical skills acquired over the last 10 years were put to the test with his film. He is currently developing feature film projects and hopes his short film will spark curiosity towards his vision.
