Renée Beaulieu
Renée Beaulieu is a Canadian film director and screenwriter from Quebec, whose debut feature film Adrien (Le Garagiste) was released in 2015.[1]
Originally from Trois-Pistoles, Quebec,[2] Beaulieu worked as a pharmacist until deciding to leave her job and return to film school.[2] She is now a professor of film studies at the Université de Montréal.[1]
Her first screenplay, Le ring, was directed by Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette in 2007.[2] She also later wrote and directed the short films Qui, Coupable and Le Vide before making Le Garagiste, whose central theme of a man coming to terms with his mortality while suffering from kidney disease was inspired by one of her final clients as a pharmacist.[3]
Beaulieu was also the editor of Le Garagiste. At the 4th Canadian Screen Awards in 2016, she was a nominee for Best Editing.[4]
