About Catherine

Hello, folks! While I've just started screenwriting, I've been writing poetry and other stories my whole life.

On my blog "Ad Librum Aeternam", I share excerpts of my scripts, as well as script studies I do. I'm also a professional book reviewer. Hence I love giving and receiving critiques.

I can't wait to get to know you, folks, and collaborate with many of you!

As a polyglot, I speak 5 languages and keep on learning more because why would I stop when it's amazing?

Moreover, I want to produce Quebec French content as well as English. My work is dark, twisted, horror-like, quite emotional, and feminist at its core.

On a side but very important note: I might not be Batman, but I'm a big fan. (Does that make me... gasp... BATGIRL?)

My favorite movie is The Dark Knight by Christopher Nolan. Close behind are Inglorious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino, Inception by Christopher Nolan, and The Batman by Matt Reeves.

I write primarily drama, romance, horror, thriller, and fantasy. Both in English and Canadian French. I have nearly finished writing my first short film, A Woman's Nightmare, which is drama. And I am working on my TV show in French, Carrousel, which is a serialized drama/thriller.

Ready to connect? Just contact me--I love to chat!
