Judith Brès
Writer | Screenwriter | Script Editor
Judith Brès grew up in Montreal with roots in Haiti and France. Screenwriter, script editor and content producer, she navigated the audiovisual industry for more than 20 years (TV5, Radio-Canada, ONF, etc.) before devoting herself entirely to writing. Screenwriter for both fiction and documentaries, she enjoys working in a team, as a duo or solo and has written, among other things, the screenplays for the Afro-Canada series (nominated for the 2022 Gémeaux awards).
Scriptwriting advisor (Wipe Me Away, Amours d’Occasion, etc.), she is interested in highlighting the approach of creators and respecting their vision as authors.
Finally, as a woman, mother of atypical children and second generation of immigrants, she is particularly sensitive to racial, social and gender issues and their representation on our screens.
