Boisjoli films win at TIFF, open in Montreal
On September 17 it was announced that Pre-Drink a Canadian dramatic short film directed by Marc-Antoine Lemire, with Evren Boisjoli 2008 as executive producer, won the award for Best Canadian Short Film at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.
On September 29, Evren’s first feature film, We’re Still Together, co-produced by writer-director Jesse Noah Klein and SHS Old Boy Marley Sniatowsky 2007, opened in theatres across Quebec.
We’re Still Together had its world premiere in the main competition at the 2016 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Prague, and went on to screen at the Festival du nouveau cinéma, BAFICI in Buenos Aires, won the grand jury prize at the New Hampshire Film Festival, and was shown at over 20 other festivals around the world. The film garnered ACTRA awards for its two leading actors. Now it has begun its initial commercial release in theatres in Montreal.
An IndieWire reviewer described the film as “a smart and sensitive micro-budget drama” that “muscles its way above the masses on the strength of its unpredictability.”
Evren is the founder and CEO of his own film production company, Achromatic Media Inc, a production house that owns high-end camera gear. In his most recent venture, Evren is one of the founding members of Outpost, a post-production facility in Montreal. He has produced in the past with international content producer Romeo & Fils and Fairmount Films, producing ad campaigns and music videos.
In addition to We’re Still Together and Pre-Drink, Evren’s filmography includes “The Chaperone 3D” (TIFF Honorable Mention and Top Ten, Slam Dance), “Lovers Lost” (Best Feature Film at Trinity International Festival), and “Lite Spots” a music video for Kaytranada that was nominated at MMVA, UKVMA, Cannes YDA and the Juno Awards. Evren holds a Bachelor in Film Production from the renowned Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema.
