Mystique Films

Veteran filmmaker Christian Bruyère has built a solid name for himself in the film and television community over the past 20 years. His knowledge of the industry and passion for his subjects are evident in each story he writes, directs or produces -- over 100 documentaries and dramas so far. Currently airing on Discovery Channel Canada is Beyond Invention, a fast-paced, character-driven science series that features Bruyère as a producer, writer, and director. Distributed by M5/Europe Images International, this edgy series stirred up positive press and much interest at MIPCOM 2003. Bruyère is currently producing a two-hour documentary special, Chasing Light, for Discovery Channel Canada. His impressive resume of work includes the CBC Television movie Scorn, which won a 2001 Gemini Award (Canada’s Emmy) for Best Television Movie, and the international award-winning documentary Sanctuary: A New Life for Research Chimps, which he produced and co-directed in 2002. Bruyère produced, directed and wrote for Healing with Animals (Leo Award-winner for Best Information Series in 2003); and produced all 65 episodes of Champions of the Wild, a wildlife advocacy series that earned numerous international awards, including the Columbus International Film & Video Festival’s prestigious CHRIS Award.
