Gilles Doiron

Gilles' first job was to help figure skaters perfect their form through video analysis. He was 14, running across highways and hopping over fences to get to work after school. He was making good money doing something he enjoyed. Years later, he left his hometown of Dieppe to become a student of the Toronto Film School. There, to exercise his new knowledge, he constantly volunteered to be a part of his classmates' production teams. That's when he discovered his passion to become a Director of Photography/Director. He graduated with honors in 2008. After working and living in Montreal for a year, working as Tape It Up Productions, he realized he wanted to return to the Maritimes. He came back home with a mission to help the New Brunswick film industry grow. He started by traveling across the Province giving film making workshops in schools. He wasn't only helping the future of the industry. He also knew the more teaching he did, the more his lessons would become a key part of his own skill set. On his arrival back into town, he realized an old friend was in the same business. He decided to join Jean-Marc Goguen and his brother Martin Goguen at Botsford Productions. Now surrounded with a team, Gilles can let his ambitious imagination run and achieve bigger and better projects, making a stronger impact with his filmmaking.
