THE STORY BEHIND SOUFFLE D’AILLEURS

In the early stages of their careers, Martin Leclerc and Tom Schneider joined forces to create their first feature film, Souffle D’Ailleurs. Together, they co-wrote, directed, produced and edited the project, which was filmed in Québec, Canada. This international co-production, shot over 28 days on Super 16 film stock, was supported by the National Film Board of Canada’s First-Time Filmmaker Program. The family-friendly comedy screened at festivals across Canada and Europe and secured video rental distribution and television broadcast in Québec.
