Barbeau began his career producing music videos with NúFilms, which he founded with Bernard Nadeau, Stéphane Raymond and Jean-François 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, as well as Giroux's early features,[4][5] and was the producer of Ivan Grbovic's debut film 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 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]
