Christian Larouche

Christian Larouche is a Canadian film and television producer from Quebec. He is most noted as producer of the film Louis Cyr (Louis Cyr: L'homme le plus fort du monde), which was the winner of the Jutra Award for Best Film at the 16th Jutra Awards in 2014. He began his career in the 1970s as a driver for Cinépix, the production firm of John Dunning and André Link, working his way into greater roles with the company until making his debut as a producer with The Ideal Man (L'Homme idéal) in 1996. In 2000 he launched his own company, Christal Films. The company made an aggressive push into film distribution in 2007; although its distribution arm put the company into bankruptcy by 2008, the studio arm survived as a division of Entertainment One, with Larouche remaining president of the division. In addition to his Jutra Award win for Louis Cyr, he was producer of the Best Film nominees The Collector (Le collectionneur) at the 5th Jutra Awards in 2003 and The 3 L'il Pigs (Les 3 p'tits cochons) at the 10th Jutra Awards in 2008, and of Just a Breath Away (Dans la brume), a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Picture at the 7th Canadian Screen Awards in 2019.
