Zoé, the film
I had the outrageous fortune of playing Zoé in Rémi St-Michel's most recent project. It's not your average zombie flick. This (silent) short speaks about power imbalances and the innate need for freedom.
Zoé premiered at the Vancouver International Film Festival in September, 2024, and has been making its way to film festivals around the world since.
​
It won the Jury Prize at the 2025 Landshut Short Film Festival. Here is an except of what the jury had to say:
​
Zoé deeply impressed us – and touched us emotionally – with its unusual narrative perspective, its clever narrative strategy, and the outstanding performance of its lead actress. Never before have we felt so much sympathy for an undead creature: one of the most unusual and complex zombie films in a long time.
Dear Humans: A Letter from the Animals
An accessible, honest, and sweet way to get your little one in on the important mission of saving our planet.

The Earth is changing fast.
How bad is it? The animals gather to find out. When they realize it’s humans behind the destruction, they must decide what to do. Could they send them to another planet? Or do humans need their help? The animals write them a letter, reminding humans of nature’s gifts and how to turn things around before it’s too late.

It is so important to give children the space to express their big feelings about climate change. Dear Humans does just this—with humour, heart, and hope.
