This shift led her to a professional screenwriting program in Montreal, where she honed her craft and developed her voice as a writer. Since then, Béatrice has been working on several television projects, both independently and collaboratively, exploring the boundary between light comedy and dark humor. Drawing on her personal experiences, she uses writing to tackle sensitive subjects with humor and authenticity.

RTalin accepted, being this film his first experience in porn; and he loved it!
