Il collabore, entre autres, avec Paule Baillargeon, Michka Saäl, Céline Baril. Luc Bourdon, Magnus Isacson, Martin Duckworth… incursion en fiction avec Robert Morin.

Toujours fasciné par le processus d’écriture-composition propre au montage ainsi que par la proximité, la profondeur de la rencontre qu’il provoque avec l’auteur et cette œuvre qui prend vie. Il considère et approche le cinéma, le multimédia comme des médiums sensoriels. Le désir de toucher en sculptant du temps, de la lumière, des sons, de la forme, du sens… Il y a encore beaucoup de plaisir à tout ça, on n’a pas tout vu et entendu.
