His only film as a director, Les Gauloises bleues, was due to be entered at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival,[1] but the festival was cancelled because of the events of May 1968 in France.
He received a Genie Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the 10th Genie Awards in 1989, as cowriter with Claude Fournier and Marie-José Raymond of the Canadian television miniseries The Mills of Power (Les Tisserands du pouvoir).[2]
