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]
