Chrystelle Maechler

Chrystelle Maechler is a Canadian TV director, producer, screenwriter, radio columnist, narrator and jazz vocalist. Her documentary work has led her to explore a wide range of issues, for networks such as Radio-Canada/CBC, TV5 Unis, TFO and Bell. Since 2017, she created and directed three documentary series (A new place called home, À la bonne franquette and Urban Resilience Toronto). Also a strong advocate for gender equality, she helped research Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Anastasia Mikova's ambitious documentary feature, Woman (2019). When she's not writing or directing, Chrystelle can often be found behind a mic - as a morning show columnist for Radio-Canada (Y'a Pas Deux Matins Pareils), narrating audiobooks or singing on the stage of a jazz club. Maechler has created content in French, English and German.
