Linda Pinet
Canadian screenwriter and film producer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linda Pinet is a Canadian screenwriter and film producer, most noted for her collaborations with her husband André Forcier as a co-producer and co-writer of many of his films.[1]
She began her career as a film editor, including on Forcier's Acapulco Gold, before her first full cowriting credit on The United States of Albert (Les États-Unis d'Albert).[2] and has had writing and/or production credits on every Forcier film thereafter.[3] She and Forcier cofounded the independent film studio Les Films du Paria.[4]
She did not have a writing credit on Forcier's 2024 film Ababooned (Ababouiné), although she was a producer, and the couple's sons François Pinet-Forcier and Renaud Pinet-Forcier were co-writers of the film.[5]
