Boris Rodriguez studied film production at Concordia University in Montreal. He debuted as a director in 1995 with the documentary Havana Kids. He then attended the Canadian Film Center before spending the next two years honing his directorial skills in television at TVOntario. In 2000 his second film, the short Beso Nocturno, premiered at the Toronto IFF, as did his next short, Perfect, which enjoyed its premiere there in 2003. Three years later, Beso Nocturno was selected as part of a retrospective put on by New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). At present, Rodriguez is at work on his first film in French, Maison Jolie Maison. The satirical black comedy Eddie – The Sleepwalking Cannibal is his feature debut.
