Terrance Odette is a Canadian film director and screenwriter.[1] He is most noted for his films Saint Monica, which premiered at the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival,[2] and Fall, which premiered at the 2014 Vancouver International Film Festival and was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Picture at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards in 2015.[3]

Originally from Kitchener, Ontario, Odette was active as a folk singer for a number of years before his forays into directing music videos led him to conclude that he was a better filmmaker than a musician.[4] He released his debut feature film Heater in 1999.[5]

He also directed the film Sleeping Dogs (2006),[6] and episodes of the television series Connor Undercover, How to Be Indie and Annedroids.

He was a nominee for the Directors Guild of Canada's DGC Award for Best Direction in a Feature Film in 2015 for Fall.[7]
