Episode 18: Marc Deveault

From War Zone to Film Set!

This week our host catches up with an old friend and fellow film set patron Special Effects artist Marc Deveault!

Marc is a retired military medic with 20 years of experience including tours of duty in Bosnia, Haiti and Afghanistan.

Marc began his career doing casualty simulation for the military which ignited his passion and childhood dream of doing special effects. He then moved to Nova Scotia, after retiring from the Forces, and started to make his mark in the Maritimes. Some of his work includes "Big Driver" (Stephen King adaptation for TV), "Lizzie Borden Chronicles" (with Christina Ricci, Lifetime), "X-Men: Apocalypse" and "Frontier" (With Jason Momoa, Netflix/Discovery).

André had a part in Big Driver and the two discuss their time on set, Marc's time in the military and how it lead to a career in SFX and why that has helped him and other veterans deal with PTSD.
