Chantal pretends she drinks coffee.
About me
Born and raised in the Caribbean, Chantal is a Toronto-based creative with a passion for storytelling. Her first dabble into creating content dates back to her teen years - filming & editing videos for her friends and family, expressing her feels through visual stories. Therefore, after finishing her Bachelor's degree in Sociology at the University of Western Ontario, and in pursuit of a wider audience, she enrolled in the MFA Filmmaking program at the New York Film Academy where her love of filmmaking blossomed. Since then she has gained experience working on a range of productions from Los Angeles and Accra, to her home country Trinidad. Her short dramedy “The Ex Factor” has been shown in various film festivals including the Boston LGBT Film Festival and the California Women’s Film Festival.
Since moving to Canada, she has held various roles within scripted and unscripted productions. Her goal is to write and direct content highlighting multilayered BIPOC and LGBTQ+ stories and authentic Caribbean representation. When not working, Chantal spends her free time telling Dad jokes unprompted, and looking at Cavapoo puppies on Kijiji.
