In 1960, he began directing documentary shorts and in 1962, found critical success with his film Day After Day (Jour après jour), which won two Canadian Film Awards.[5] Perron continued to work primarily on documentaries until the NFB decided to make an attempt at a more commercial cinema in the late sixties and early seventies.[6] He directed three fiction feature-length films of moderate success during this time period but his biggest accomplishment was writing the screenplay for Mon oncle Antoine (1971) which was based on his own childhood experiences.[7]
