The Team
Alex Bezeau
After completing a Master of Arts in International Relations and serving over a decade within the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence, Alex Bezeau embarked on a new chapter. As a filmmaker of color with Bangladeshi heritage, Bezeau has spent the past five years utilizing documentary cinema to dismantle society’s collective erasure of uncomfortable histories. This distinct background and rigorous academic investigative discipline fueled a series of edgy historical projects— including the short film Jacques Cartier’s Doctrine of Discovery (2023), the award winning feature Vacation Plantation (2024), and the short One Last River to Cross (2025).
As a director, writer, producer, and editor, Bezeau’s work is defined by stepping directly inside the psychological chaos of historical trauma, his films serve an uncompromising purpose: to reconstruct the past, speak truth to power, and expose the generational scars left behind by long-buried truths. Ultimately providing an essential lens to understand the complexities of the world around us today.
Lauren Cudmore
An archaeologist holding a Master of Arts in Anthropology, Lauren has dedicated much of her professional career to research and analysis within a national museum. Driven by a lifelong passion for public history and connecting people to the world around them, her storytelling journey expanded significantly five years ago when she began hosting the web series Blue Lobster Tales. That experience, combined with her work on the production of the short Jacques Cartier’s Doctrine of Discovery (2023), the feature Vacation Plantation (2024), and the short One Last River to Cross (2025), unlocked a profound, newfound love for producing films. Today, Lauren leverages her rigorous background in material culture and archival investigation to bring a deep sense of historical grounding, authenticity, and narrative texture to the screen.
