BENJAMIN GAGNÉ
Benjamin had his first encounter with the world of cinema at a very young age, creating handmade stop-motion short films with his father.

He also completed a bachelor's degree in film production at UQÀM and began working as a first assistant camera and director of photography. He signed the cinematography on Mirko Lafrenière's first funded short film, "Reptilia," and directed a documentary short film distributed by Welcome Aboard, titled "Let Kids Play !" (2024).
