Marc-Antoine Rioux
Writer | Screenwriter
Marc-Antoine Rioux began his scriptwriting career in 2009 after studying arts and humanities, communication and screenwriting. Mauvaise, his first short film, was screened as part of the Fantasia film festival. He then devoted himself to writing feature films and co-wrote PRANK, a cheeky teen comedy selected by the 2016 Venice Critics’ Week and winner of the Gilles-Carle Prize at Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma in 2017, his second feature Les Barbares de la Malbaie (2019) and the third, Farador, to come in 2023. He will soon tackle new projects, whether a comedy (Nicolet), a horror film (Visite Libre) or a bio-action movie (Leo Major), his focus remains solely on delivering fresh and entertaining stories. If Marc-Antoine devotes himself to these projects with a devouring passion, it is, of course, nothing compared to the obsession he always had for the Montreal Canadiens, or the work of David Mamet.
