- Bianca Bellange is a French Canadian actress, writer and producer. Born in Montreal, she is perfectly bilingual and continues to work in French and in English in TV series and feature films with respected and celebrated directors like Daniel Destin Cretton, Daniel Roby, Ricardo Trogi, Erik Canuel and Dean Parisot. Seeing herself as a storyteller, Bianca wanted to tell stories not only in front but also behind the camera, so she started to develop and produce her own scripts. Through her production company, Bel Ange Moon Productions, she works with her co-producer and sister Ayana O'Shun on several films and television series (fiction and documentary genres).
In June 2018, Bianca was one of the top 25 Canadians selected for the "Netflix-Banff Diversity of Voices Initiative Program" at the 2018 Banff World Media Festival. She was awarded a grant by SODEC, one of the sponsors of the program, and by the festival itself. In 2019, Ayana was selected in the same program.
Bianca and her sister are bold creators/producers who build solid business relationships with key players in the industry and produce rich content for the national and international markets. Their films, which are female-centric, have connected strongly with viewers from a wide variety of different backgrounds They believe this connection comes from the fact that their audiences identify with the characters' experiences, regardless of their race or gender.
