Patrick Boivin is a self-taught individual who honed his skills as a director through "Phylactère Cola", a humor series comprising over 400 sketches for which he earned an Gémeaux award for direction in 2002. His background as a comic book artist greatly inspired the vibrant aspect of his work, lending a unique signature to his storytelling. Subsequently, he created several short films that won numerous awards at festivals around the world. In 2007, he launched a YouTube account that swiftly became one of the most popular web showcases in Canada. Over the years, he shared multiple short films that accumulated hundreds of millions of views. He finally presented "Enfin l'Automne" ("Fall, Finally") in 2011, the first Canadian feature film created for YouTube. He directed a second feature film titled "Bunker" in 2013. In the role of a one-man band, he now presents "Echo à Delta" in 2023, a dramatic feature film for a young audience. For this project, he is director, cinematographer, animator, and special effects designer.
