After\u00a0winning the award for mise-en-sc\u00e8ne at the Saint-Jean-de-Luz festival, witnessing her\u00a0actors win for their work in her film, and receiving eight nominations at the Gala Qu\u00e9bec\u00a0Cin\u00e9ma, including best film, best direction, and best screenplay, Sophie was selected to\u00a0represent Quebec in the 2018 Oscars season.
