Biography

Lauzon came from a humble family and he worked in many different jobs, until he obtained a title in Communications, and went to Los Angeles to study cinema, in the late 70s. He made some shortcuts, the majority of which received awards, and then two films which also won many prizes and established him as one of the most important Canadian directors of the time. He was preparing his third film when he died, with his girlfriend, Marie-Soleil Tougas, in a plane crash.
