His death was unexpected and the causes are currently unknown (viaThe New York Times).
Vallee made his directorial debut in 1995 with a thriller titled “Liste Noir.”
It was nominated for several Genie Awards, winning for Best Picture.
He was also a hugely caring man who invested his whole self alongside every actor he directed.
He was a true artist and a generous, loving guy.
Everyone who worked with him couldn’t help but see the talent and vision he possessed.
He was a friend, creative partner, and an older brother to me.
Jean-Marc Vallee was 58 and is survived by his two children.
