Eva Kabuya
Director | Screenwriter
With her very first web series, a portrait of her native Saint-Henri that’s both dreamy and realistic, Eva was already making people think (and open up). Dog Days have shaped her into a refreshing creator, both for her richly varied casts and for her soundtracks that draw on the best of jazz and hip-hop; her voice has an unforgettable poetic lilt.
Before her first hit, which went to Cannes (CANNESERIES) and gained her recognition both local and international (Gémeaux Award for emerging artists 2020; Best foreign-language series, NYC WebFest; Director of the Year, 2022 Gala Dynastie), Eva completed her bachelor’s degree in communications and film at Concordia University and is now studying for her master’s degree in film at New York University. She’s currently working on her first feature, La Professeure, which has received financing under the Production Program of Telefilm Canada.
