What St Laurent TV does

St Laurent TV is a Quebec-based web and television production company founded in March 2017 by Lou Bélanger (President and Executive Producer) and Rafael Perez (Executive Producer and Associate), headquartered at 830 Ernest-Gagnon, Suite 316, Québec City, Canada. The company produces original French-language content across multiple formats, including web and television fiction series (Col Bleu, Dominos, La maison des folles, Amours d'Occasion, Les Oubliettes, Les Mal-Aimants), documentary and docu-magazine programming (Filles de moto, Raël QC, Épitaphe, Cocktail – La cuisine liquide, Vous Pouvez Rêver), interview and variety shows (Punch Club, Le Kevin Raphael Show, Bon Matin Chuck, Sounds of Ottawa), music video production for artists such as Naya Ali, Benny Adam, Clodelle, and Marieme, and short films (Aska, Émetteur-récepteur). Underlying production technology is conventional television and web video production; no proprietary technology stack, AI tooling, patents, or software products are disclosed.

The company generates revenue primarily through production contracts and content licensing agreements with Canadian broadcasters and streaming platforms, including CBC-Radio-Canada (ICI Tou.tv), TVA Sports, Unis TV, Groupe V Media (Musique Plus, Vrak, Z), Crave, Noovo, Bell Fibe, TeleQuebec, TV5Unis, Illico, Radio-Canada, and Sirius XM. GTM motion combines sales-led producer relationships with channel-partner distribution, targeting Quebec and French-speaking Canadian audiences. Pricing is negotiated per project and is not publicly disclosed; the company also receives funding support from public bodies such as SODEC for feature-length development. With 1–10 employees and no disclosed external funding rounds, St Laurent TV operates as a privately held, founder-owned, bootstrapped boutique production studio whose competitive position rests on a festival-recognized content library, broadcaster relationships across both Bell Media and Quebecor ecosystems, and a curated creative identity around diversity and modern Quebec storytelling.
