In My Head

In My Head deals sensitively with my experience of multiple sclerosis. I’ve had multiple sclerosis for over nine years. Weaving medical imagery from my hospital appointments with visual and sound fragments of my daily life, this film-diary sketches the movement of life that persists with the disease.

Like Hearing Through Sheet Metal

Like Hearing Through Sheet Metal is a lyrical and intimate documentary that follows three individuals—Martin “Lion” Lapointe, Marianne Desroches, and M.—as they navigate an often conflicted relationship with a powerful chemical addiction. Shot in both digital 4K and 16mm, the film interlaces the events and rhythms of every day life with raw, unguarded reflections on long-term substance use. Rejecting sensationalism, Like Hearing… offers a holistic portrait of vulnerability, capturing not just struggle but the full depth of a life beyond addiction.
