ORIGIN STORY 

Founded in 2018 by creator and producer Folklaur Chevrier, Folklaur Films is a Canadian production company dedicated to creating impactful and meaningful content for Film & Television with international appeal. At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to stories that reflect the diversity of the human spirit and illuminate the complexities of the human experience.

We are especially drawn to the intersection of cinema and socially conscious storytelling—where narrative meets purpose. We source compelling material, develop projects from conception, and collaborate with bold, daring storytellers—especially women—who are driven to reveal deeper truths and challenge conventional narratives.

Our work seeks to go beyond the superficial, delving into the shadow and nuance of human drama. We believe in purposeful entertainment: stories that provoke thought, encourage empathy, and foster public awareness. Through innovative storytelling, we aim to expand understanding and shift perspectives.

At Folklaur Films, we believe creativity is the catalyst for transformation. With fearless storytelling at the core, we set bold visions and make them a reality. Stories have the unique power to reveal what was, what is, and what could be. It’s not easy—but it’s absolutely possible. That’s what we stand for. That’s what our work is about—led by women, here and now.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between story and audience. When we connect through story, we connect as human beings. Film and television have the potential not just to entertain, but to inspire dialogue, spark change, and become truly transformational.

Notably, the astonishing true crime story of child murder victim Christine Jessop and her family marks the debut greenlit title from Folklaur Films—a decades-long passion project for creator Folklaur Chevrier, and a powerful testament to the kind of fearless storytelling we champion.
