He produced the early short films of Maxime Giroux, as well as Giroux's early features, [4] [5] and was the producer of Ivan Grbovic's debut film Romeo Eleven (Roméo Onze). [6]

Barbeau subsequently wrote and directed his directorial debut, Winter Passed (Après la neige). [3] He followed up as a director with the films We Have Forever (À nous l'éternité) in 2018, [7] and We Had It Coming in 2019. [8]

In recent years he has had co-producer or executive producer credits on international films, including Pieces of a Woman (2020), [9] Woman of the Hour (2023), [10] , Novocaine (2025) and Splitsville (film) [11]
