  • David Simard

    David Simard is a documentarist who loves contrast. Without ever straying from technique, he connects with the characters whose stories he tells. Since his debut in the employment market, he is forced to live as an advertising man aspiring to become an artist. He believes that his specialization in documentaries for companies is just a step towards making author films.
