Mad Dog Labine is a Canadian docufiction film, directed by Jonathan Beaulieu-Cyr and Renaud Lessard and released in 2018.[1] Set in the rural Pontiac region of western Quebec, the film stars Ève-Marie Martin as Lindsay Labine, a young girl who is feeling alienated because her father would not take her hunting with her older brothers; hanging out with her friend Justine (Zoé Audet), the girls' lives may be transformed when they unexpectedly find an abandoned winning lottery ticket.[2]

The film's cast also includes Charlotte Aubin, Emmanuel Bilodeau, Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse, Antoine Pilon, Sébastien Ricard and Julianne Côté.

The film premiered in October 2018 at the Festival du nouveau cinéma,[3] and won the Grand Prix Focus Quebec/Canada. It went into general theatrical release in 2019.

The film was a nominee for the John Dunning Best First Feature Award at the 8th Canadian Screen Awards,[4] and for the Prix Iris for Best First Film at the 22nd Quebec Cinema Awards.[5]
