    ROSALIE RÉMILLARD Growing up and wanting to be a forensic doctor, I took a 180 degree turn and followed my heart after failing in applied sciences in college. As a curious and passionate 19 years old, I turned to cinema, eyes full of admiration, and embarked on a cultivating journey through storytelling and directing. I dived with ambition into the art of filmmaking at Cégep de Granby, and found my way into this fantastic world. I am always up to try new genres, explore new themes or develop unique characters through the small screen, and with hard work and determination, the big one too. PHILIPPE VANASSE-PAQUET Intuitive, highly curious, passionate and creatively starved… That is what describes at best the 18 years old french-canadian artist, studying filmmaking at Cégep de Granby. Whether it’s through hip-hop dance, writing, producing music or directing, his need to create is stronger than him. Also an actor since he’s 9 years old, he played in many Quebec series, as well as being a voice actor for the french versions of Onward (Tom Holland) and Ron’s Gone Wrong (Disney - 2021).
