Jour2Fête has taken French distribution rights to period dramedy “La Portraitiste,” directed by Annie St-Pierre and written by Florence Longpré, who also stars in the film. The deal was signed in Cannes with H264, a Montreal-based international sales company.

Longpré, an actress as well as a writer, first came to public attention with “Like-Moi!” in the role of Gaby Gravel, and later made a strong impression with “Can You Hear Me?” (M’entends-tu?) and “Audrey’s Back” (Audrey est revenue), two critically acclaimed series, on which she also collaborated as a screenwriter. She is also the co-screenwriter of “Le temps des framboises.”
