Sophie Dupuis
Sophie Dupuis has a very specific goal: “I want to make films that make you feel strong emotions.” So far, with Chien de garde (2017, Canada’s choice for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar race) and Souterrain (2019, Iris for Best Screenplay), she has kept her promise. Already, you can recognize her signature energy in the script and editing that keeps you on the edge of your seat, whether the action takes place in a Montreal kitchen or deep in a gold mine in Abitibi. His actors and actresses arrive early in the process and participate in lengthy rehearsals. The results: exceptional performances with acting awards, notably for Théodore Pellerin. Her favorite actor, whom she revealed, is in all her films, including the next one, her third, SOLO. This time, Sophie Dupuis stages the drag queen scene. Her words to describe SOLO: electrifying, festive, colorful, musical, dynamic, a firecracker!
