About Us
While completing their undergraduate studies, Joséane Brunelle and Tristan Tondino began working as art department members in the theatre and the cinema .
While some of the film projects they were involved with were outstanding (Jésus de Montréal,Le Confessional), many were less so. This prompted them to experiment with screenwriting in 1995, mostly at night and on weekends. They wrote, directed and produced their first short film in 1998. Within a few years, they earned contracts in film and television with Canadian, American, and European production companies.
Orchestrating their careers as scenic artists, painters and writers, they adapted two German screenplays (psychological thrillers for Milagro), developed a comedy, adapted a novel into a miniseries (for Zone 3), scripted a biographical feature on the artist Elaine de Kooning (for Ginty
International), and a thriller series about the Orient Express (for Global Filmtime International). In 2008 and 2009, they teamed up with a third author and received two screenwriting grants from SODEC for a comedy titled Art House. They adapted the dialogues from English to French for the High Cost of Living which won Best Canadian First Feature Film at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival.
