She enrolled in the scriptwriting program of Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) in 2009. In 2013, she wrote and produced a short film entitled Douce Amère (Bittersweet) that has screened at many festivals around the world. The film won Best International Short Film award at the International Film Festival of Williamsburg in New York City. Her challenging experience on Bittersweet production made her realize the importance of having full artistic control of her own work. After 12 years working as an actress and 6 years as a writer, Gagnon finally feels ready to make, from A to Z, her first short film: LOST ONES. Her experience only strengthened her desire to make more films and she is now focused on gaining experience as a director. LOST ONES also gave her the opportunity to start up her own production company, Galop Films, created with her artistic partner actress-writer Valérie Gervais Lillo. Currently, as a writer, she is developing two bilingual feature films: How Could I be loved (English/French) and she is co-writing La Gloria (French/Spanish) with the same production partner.
