It’s standing room only in a stuffy cinema in Gaspésie, summer of 1982. The lights dim and screen twinkles brightly as the familiar hum of a movie projector thrums. A young girl rushes in from serving popcorn at the concession stand, finds a seat in the crowded aisle, and watches wide-eyed for the fourteenth time as the opening credits for E.T. begin to roll.

Bungalow 5 Owner & Founder Josianne Côté grew up in a world surrounded by the magic of storytelling and visual enchantment, igniting her life-long passion for the film industry. This early exposure taught her the massive impact of visual narratives and the power of creativity and collaboration.

Fast-forward to today—with over 25 years of experience in Advertising, Television, Film, and Interactive, Josianne has worn many hats—from Executive Producer to Creative Director—working with brands like Coca Cola, Disney, Ford, and Google, to name a few. She prides herself on being business-oriented, honest, loyal, and direct—but above all, she has a genuine passion for people. She loves to laugh and indulge in chocolate soufflés, and still has that childlike sparkle in her eyes when experiencing the magic of filmmaking.
