Director Biography - Chris Gaudry

Chris Gaudry (he/him) is a director, writer and producer from Winnipeg, Canada. His accomplishments in television and media production do not come from carrying out a carefully constructed plan, they are a result of an incessant pursuit of his passions.
For the past eight years, Gaudry has worked as a director and writer on a number of television shows, most recently on a french language television show titled Manaachihtow (a Michif word meaning rescued or saved), which is currently in production.
Gaudry is also founder of 4/4 Films (aka. Four Four Films) a boutique video production company located in Winnipeg. Maintaining 4/4 Films has allowed Gaudry to continue to work on non-broadcast related projects such as music videos, short form stories, commercials, and art projects. Having the flexibility to move around formats has allowed him to be creative on a variety of projects and continue to work towards what makes him tick, inspiring people and building a meaningful body of work (www.fourfourfilms.ca)

Director Statement

With 'Into The Void,' I focused on the necessity of our mental retreats from everyday monotony and disappointment, portraying these acts as vital means of survival. The film explores how these disconnections—through daydreams or fantasies—begin in the subconscious and slowly slip into our actual realm, illustrating the thin line between our imagined sanctuaries and reality.

Into the void is a french language short film with english subtitles that was filmed in 2023 and finished in January of 2024.

This was a passion project for us and we fully funded the film independently and without any subsidies.
