The high-profile case of serial killer Ludovic Chevalier has just gone to trial, and Kelly-Anne is obsessed.

DIRECTOR’S BIOGRAPHY
Pascal Plante is a Montreal-based filmmaker whose latest narrative feature – Nadia, Butterfly – has been included in the official selection of the 73rd edition of Cannes Film Festival in 2020. After his graduation from Concordia University’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, Pascal co-founded the production company Nemesis Films, with which he directed numerous short films including BLAST BEAT (Slamdance 2019), Blue-Eyed Blonde (Best Canadian Short Film VIFF 2015), and Nonna (Slamdance 2017). His first narrative feature, a punk romance entitled Fake Tattoos, competed at the Berlinale, in Generation 14plus, in 2018. Pascal considers himself like a cinephile that became a narrative filmmaker with documentarian tendencies. Red Rooms is his third narrative feature.
