She subsequently worked in television, directing episodes of Bliss, Tabou, Nos étés and Sophie, and made the short films Quel jour était-ce? in 2001 and Nous sommes tous les jours in 2006.
She collaborated with Marie-Sissi Labrèche on the screenplay for Borderline, and directed the film.[1] At the 29th Genie Awards in 2009, Charlebois and Labrèche were cowinners of the Genie Award for Best Adapted Screenplay,[7] and Charlebois was a shortlisted nominee for the Genie Award for Best Director;[8] at the 2009 Prix Jutra, she won the award for Best Director.[9]
