Lawrence Côté-Collins is a director and cinematographer.
Active in the Kino movement (10 years) and winner of several awards, she has directed some forty short films (fiction, documentary, essay, experimental) in Quebec, Europe, Africa and Asia. She also took part in the Wapikoni mobile project.
Her creative style is a blend of writing, improvisation and freedom of expression. Split (2016), her very first feature film produced by Coop Vidéo, is an unsettling, raw, in camera “mockumentary” on the themes of voyeurism, solitude and emotional dependence. Lawrence Côté-Collins’ cinema is unclassifiable, as is his second feature Bungalow (2023), a ferocious satire of consumer society, displaying deep empathy for the people who get caught up in it. This wacky black comedy is off to a great start, with some twenty screens in Quebec and festival success in France. When she’s not working on a film project, she directs documentary series and reality TV for television.
