Roger Frappier worked in all areas of the film business, from film critic to television commercial director to director/ producer of the experimental feature documentaryLe Gand film ordinaire , until he found his true vocation as a hands-on producer. While at theNational Film Board of Canada in the early 1980s, he assembled a group of writer/directors who collaborated on developing edgy, urban dramas. The script forLe Déclin de l’empire américain emerged from the process that Frappier had set in motion. With that film’s phenomenal success, Frappier rose to the ranks of the top producers of feature films in Quebec. He left the NFB in 1986 and founded Max Films withPierre Gendron , producingUn Zoo la nuit in 1987, the winner of 13 Genie Awards, still a record. His many other films includePouvoir intime ,Anne Trister ,Jésus de Montréal ,Ding et Dong, le film andCosmos . Members of the Cosmos collective went on to make two of the most celebrated works in recent Québécois cinema,Un 32 août sur terre andMaelström , underscoring Frappier’s eye for fresh talent. His 2003 production, the affableSeducing Doctor Lewi s, became one of the highest-grossing films at the domestic box office in Canadian film history.[ 1]
