The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) smiles on Karelle Tremblay. After being named rising star of the festival in 2015, the film where she stars, The Missing Fireflies , was crowned Best Canadian Feature Film this year. Louis-Philippe Ouimet met the young actress.
In this film by Sébastien Pilote where her character as a cynical teenager is present in almost every scene, Karelle Tremblay says having felt like having to carry the film on her shoulders. She was, however, reassured by the trust the director gave him.
"Sebastien really trusted me," she says. I think he wanted me to build that character with my instinct, my intuition. "
She began her career less than ten years ago on a youth radio show on Radio-Canada. At the age of 22, Karelle Tremblay accumulated roles on television and in film, and was sometimes nominated in Quebec galas for her work.
The self-taught actress has been dreaming about the scene since a very young age. "It looks like I did not see myself doing anything else in life," she says.
However, the game is not his only passion. Karelle Tremblay, who comes from a family where music occupies a lot of space, is about to record a first album.
"It's always been something I wanted to do, I think. I love the control I can have in music. The control of lyrics, melodies is my control, while in the cinema, well I work all the time for me, I also work for a director. "
