Quotes by Chloé Robichaud

"I don't know what I think of quotas yet, but I believe it's important for Telefilm—and hopefully eventually (Quebec funding agency) SODEC—to give special attention to scripts by women and especially stories that put women in the foreground. There's a clear lack of diversity in cinema at the moment, and a lack of female role models. There are very few of us. It's important for future generations to have role models so that one day we won't need these kinds of initiatives and it will become obvious that a woman can be behind the camera."
-- Chloé Robichaud (source)

"When I'm writing, I love it, but when I start getting bored I can't wait until I get to shooting the film, and when I'm shooting I'm already thinking about the editing and what I want to do. And when I'm editing, I'm thinking about ideas for my next film."

Quote by Chloé Robichaud [in French]

"Ce qui importe davantage à mes yeux, plus que le sexe de la personne qui est derrière la caméra, c'est de qui parle l'histoire qu'on raconte, et compte-t-elle suffisamment de personnages de femmes complexes et nuancées. La parité à l'écran m'importe davantage, mais il faut donner les mêmes opportunités derrière aussi."
-- Chloé Robichaud (source)

Quote about Chloé Robichaud

"Few young filmmakers can claim to be Cannes veterans. But at 24, Chloe Robichaud heads to the prestigious film festival Monday for the third time with her 13-minute tale Herd Leader (Chef de meute). [...] Robichaud's Cannes debut came in 2010 when her short film Me Neither (Moi non plus) was selected to screen at the Short Film Corner, a side program where directors and producers can mingle and gain international exposure. She returned in 2011 when Still Life (Nature Morte) was selected as part of a Quebec showcase of homegrown talent."
-- Cassandra Szklarski (source)
