Biography
Sophie Deraspe is a Canadian director, screenwriter, cinematographer, and producer known for work that challenges the boundaries between reality and storytelling. Born October 27, 1973, she emerged as a prominent voice in Quebec cinema with narrative features including Missing Victor Pellerin (2006), Vital Signs (2009), and The Wolves (2015). Her 2015 documentary The Amina Profile investigated the real-world impact of a 2011 hoax—a fake Syrian-American activist persona that circulated globally before being exposed. In 2019, Deraspe wrote, directed, and shot Antigone, drawing inspiration from the 2008 death of Frdy Villanueva in Montreal and adapting Sophocles' classic to explore a woman's defiance of law for moral principle. Starring Nahéma Ricci, the film premiered at Toronto International Film Festival, won the festival's Best Canadian Film award, and was selected as Canada's official submission for the Oscars. Her television work expanded her reach: Dark Soul (Bête noire), her first series, won four Gémeaux Awards in 2021, including Best TV Drama Series and Best Director, with broadcast rights sold to the USA, Australia, France, and Norway. Her recent series Paradise Motel premiered on Club Illico in October 2022 and reached Australian audiences via SBS on Demand in 2024. Deraspe describes her practice as "constantly questioning limits, particularly those related to representation, as well as the boundaries of reality and fiction". She was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2020 and received the title Compagne de l'Ordre des arts et des lettres du Québec in 2021. As a screenwriter and director, she works across documentary and narrative forms. A Scorpio born in 1973, her life-path number 3 aligns with creative expression and storytelling [birth fact].
