QUÉBEC FILM SOURCEBOOK

At TORQ, a regional company based in Québec, we have been creating informative and entertaining video content that reaches a broad audience since 2005 (RPM, Crinqué, Le monde est à nu, Partir autrement entre amis, Femme, je te tue!). Founded by the passionate communicator Pierre Michaud, our family‑run business thrives on creativity and collaboration. With his son Simon Michaud now at the helm as president and Geneviève Gélinas serving as executive producer and vice‑president, we collaborate with respected broadcasters such as TV5, Corus and Bell Media, ensuring our content is widely recognised. With a goal of strategic expansion, we extended our operations to Montréal in 2019 while keeping our head office in Québec City to broaden our operational capabilities. In 2023, we acquired Océan Télévision and Anémone Films, bringing founders Rémi St‑Gelais and Denise Landry (Océan Télévision) and Loïc Guyot and Élisabeth Harvey (Anémone Films) on board as producers, thereby strengthening our production capacity and diversifying our slate by doubling its production volume. Over the past two years, we have achieved impressive economic growth, producing an average of twelve series per year — a testament to the strong organic demand and universal appeal of our magazine and documentary content. We have begun building an international presence by developing relationships with several distributors including Terranoa, TV5 Monde, TF1, Ampersand and others, through whom we have generated sales. We plan to increase both our content offering and our international sales.
