Biography

French Canadian François Balcaen's first exposure to film production came in the form of video workshops he attended while still in high school. In 1992 he produced and directed his first independent film, an interpretive short, inspired by the Richard Séguin song "Par delà l'océan".

A relocation to Toronto in 1994 would lead to other "dramatic" opportunities...

Only 21 years of age, yet sporting an uncanny level of maturity and experience, he was offered the Key Grip position on John Fawcett's feature film "The Boys Club".

Bravely retracing their ancestor's footsteps, their personal journeys unfold as they face high seas and low morale and attempt to travel from La Rochelle, France to reach the "New World"...
