**Paul Barbeau** is a Canadian film director and producer.[1]

Barbeau began his career producing music videos with NúFilms, which he founded with Bernard Nadeau, Stéphane Raymond and [Jean-François Lord](/source/Jean-Fran%C3%A7ois_Lord) in May 2000.[2] NuFilms later shut down, citing the financial impacts of illegal downloading of music during Napster's surge.[3]

He produced the early short films of [Maxime Giroux](/source/Maxime_Giroux), as well as Giroux's early features,[4][5] and was the producer of [Ivan Grbovic](/source/Ivan_Grbovic)'s debut film *[Romeo Eleven](/source/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](/source/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](/source/Pieces_of_a_Woman)* (2020),[9] *[Woman of the Hour](/source/Woman_of_the_Hour)* (2023),[10]*[Novocaine](/source/Novocaine_(2025_film))* (2025) and [Splitsville (film)](/source/Splitsville_(film))[11]
