Waiting for Pascal
Montreal, 2028. Surrounded by drones and useless gadgets, four vain thirty-somethings get together for dinner. "Creative" work, daily anxieties and "transients" (miserable refugees living around town) are the order of the day while the four of them wait for one Pascal. Will he come?

In 2015, he directed the short A Bomb, which was seen and enjoyed in festivals around the world.
