Hello internet.
My name is JP, I am a Montreal-based director & artist, previously known as the one with the beard and glasses from DENT DE CUIR (2011-2018) directing duo, which whom I received a bunch of accolades in the music video world.
I specialize in conceptual-driven projects ranging from music videos, commercials to tour visuals & immersive experiences.
My passion for bold, often surreal / sometimes absurd, visual concepts and my ongoing obsession for elaborating fresh visual languages to tell stories have brought me to shoot award-winning campaigns for A-list clients such as Apple, Instagram, Samsung, Volkswagen, Katy Perry, Twitter, KFC, Starbucks & Sony among others.
When asked nicely, I would sometime do creative direction for live performances, tv and immersive projects thru my creative studio.
Otherwise, I am focusing on making highly visual & meaningful films (I’m also fine with semi-random stuff).
