Raised on Star Trek: The Next Generation, my original plan was to sit in a dark room, push flashy buttons and visit strange new worlds as an astronaut. Fortunately, I found my calling sitting in a dark room, pushing colourful buttons and visiting other worlds as an editor.
I love the art of editing because it allows me to do a deep dive into every character's head while still leaning into my passion for technology. It's the perfect balance for a story-loving nerd.
Whatever the challenge - be it story structure or advanced editing techniques - we will find a solution. Together, we will craft the absolute best way to finesse your idea and tell your story. And hey, if we end up talking about music, snowboarding, craft beers, or our favourite films (mine being Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), so be it! Let's have some fun!
Montreal, 1945. A few months have passed since the end of the Second World War. Jean Thibault, alias IXE-13, formerly the finest agent in Canada’s spy service, is now the respected owner of the Crystal Night Club in the city’s red light district. While still recovering from his difficult years in the service, Jean finds himself reluctantly drawn into a new undercover operation. On one hand, Russian operatives are trying to obtain uranium to build a bomb that would threaten the West. On the other hand, a powerful Nazi group – led by Rick Gallaher, a Canadian veteran – also seeks uranium for its plot to conquer the world.
Following an attack on one of his people, Jean has no choice but to get back into the spy game, despite the wartime injuries that still haunt him. His fellow agents Roxane Racicot, Marius Lamouche and Victor Laporte agree to team up with Jean on a perilous mission: infiltratng and dismantling the two evil networks before the uranium falls into the conspirators’ clutches.
