Besides my regular work as a director/writer/producer, I also freelance for other producers and filmmakers in order to contribute to their projects, solve their problems and help them achieve success!

ARE YOU A DESIGNER, INVENTOR OR TREND SETTER?

I CAN PROMOTE YOUR PRODUCT, INVENTION OR SERVICE INTERNATIONALLY!

 

I have been building my own online and offline audience since 1999. For instance, I was the first female director to own a dot com in Quebec, at an era when only big corporations had an official website.

 

I have generated cult following online since even before MySpace was born. I have various social media pages, groups and identities resulting in thousand of loyal "real" followers on my various accounts.

 

Social media is a powerful tool. I use it to start trends and influence people, with my very own bold, provocative and engaging methods.

 

How often do you want me to promote your product or service? Up to you!

 

I sell each one of my Facebook posts and Tweets ($50/each - minimum of a $100 starting package) to promote your product and/or service on my vast international social media network. I write in three languages (EN/FR/SP).

 

Please note that I only endorse products/services/clients that are ethical and that resonate with my brand, philosophy and lifestyle.

 

Designers and entrepreneurs are welcomed to send me samples of their creations so I can try them out and promote them on my vast international social media network for free.

 

At my film premieres, red carpet events, photo shoots and television interviews, I always wear original designs and accessories that are custom-made for me by various international designers. I attend prestigious Film Festivals each year such as the Cannes Film Festival, TIFF, FanExpo, Oaxaca FilmFest, Fantasia, just to name a few. These appearances present great exposure opportunities for designers and trend setters like myself!

 

I also do a lot of product placements in my films, only if it makes sense with the story.

For me, the Sky is NOT the limit!

SPEAKING & HOSTING ENGAGEMENTS

 

I give inspirational and motivational talks at various international events, film festivals, universities and film schools. I travel the world to be part of panels, lectures and workshops. I'm fluent in English, French and Spanish and I can also do my own simultaneous translations live in front of the audience.

 

I'm hired and/or invited to do speaking engagements, hosting and guest appearances every month at various galas or events.

 

My rates start at $300/hour + travel expenses. However, this is negotiable depending on the event and conditions offered.

 

Note: I do motivational volunteer talks in High Schools, Community Colleges and Universities.

 

Subjects that I often speak about:

 

- The Secrets of my success as an independent filmmaker.

 

- Self-Distribution and Promotion.

 

- Creative techniques to direct actors and non actors.

 

- The creative process of a director; from the idea to the screen, and beyond.

 

- Master-Class about storytelling with Patricia Chica. Thinking outside the box on low-budget genre filmmaking.

 

- Guerrilla Filmmaking: field producing/directing under very restrained conditions.

 

- Technical workshops on video recording and editing.
