Montreal, July 16, 2026 – Children today welcome a seasoned director to their team of directing talent for the Quebec market: Mélanie Charbonneau.
After twenty years of successful projects in both advertising and fiction – with a particularly fruitful final year where his film Outstanding won the prize best adapted scenario at the 2026 Canadian Screen Awards and the immense commercial and critical success of his feature film The Furies – the director expands her creative field by returning to advertising as a unique and unifying voice.
With her vibrant and boundless energy, Mélanie has always distinguished herself through her subtle direction of actors and her intelligent use of the camera to create intuitive staging for the audience, naturally fostering an understanding of the message's tone. Driven by unwavering rigor and a keen instinct for audience perception, she consistently delivers... insights fair in order to create collaboratively, to lead with pleasure in order to give campaigns their full strength.
"It's a real privilege to meet a director of Mélanie's caliber who brings all her seniority and her drive notorious at Les Enfants. It has always been important for us to represent talents with a cultural impact in Quebec, but what strikes you when you meet him is a sharp intelligence and a flair for the craft advertising. We are very excited to accompany her in what promises to be a very successful sequel for her!,” emphasizes Visant Le Guennec, Executive Producer and President at Les Enfants.
“I joined Les Enfants with the desire to create images that bring people together, that make them laugh, that stay with them. Comedy and directing actors feed into everything I do. And advertising is an extremely stimulating playground for me, because it demands precision, instinct, and a real ability to connect with people directly. I feel that with Les Enfants, I can push this approach even further, with the ambition and high standards that drive me,” the director concludes.
