Career

Trogi was born in Quebec City, Quebec. He began his filmmaking career as a contestant in the 1994-95 edition of La Course destination monde , [1] tying with François Prévost for the win at the end of the season. [2]

His first two feature films, Québec-Montréal , about seven twenty-something travellers driving between the two cities, and Dodging the Clock (Horloge biologique), a look at three men and their decisions about having children, were both critical and commercial hits. Quebec-Montréal received four Jutra Awards. [3]

His third feature, titled 1981 , was a semi-autobiographical film about his own coming of age, and was released in September 2009. [4] It was followed by the sequel films 1987 in 2014, 1991 in 2018, and 1995 in 2024. [5]

In addition to his film work, Trogi also directed the 2004-2005 television series Smash [3] and the 2020 comedy series La Maison-Bleue . [6]

As of 2024, Trogi holds the record for the most films by a Canadian director to surpass $1 million in box office sales in the Quebec market; seven of his films have reached that benchmark. [7]
