His short film Ça pis tout l’reste (That, and everything else) was chosen by Quebec Gold as one of the top 10 short films from Quebec in 2008. Boivin was also one of the group of nine "autodidact" writers who produced an experimental television series titled Phylactere Cola for Canadian television that aired between 2002-2003. All were cartoonists who had met years earlier and produced over 400 sketches.[1] His films have been featured at numerous international film festivals around the world, including the Montreal World Film Festival, the Commonwealth Film Festival (UK) and the Festival de Namur (Belgium). Boivin started his creative career by drawing comic books, and in his words, “quickly discovered that it was faster to tell a story with video." He cites Tom Waits, Roy Andersson, Federico Fellini and Paul Thomas Anderson as influences on his style.

Many of Boivin's films have been viewed more than a million times on YouTube. He created the stop motion videos for the "King Of The Dogs" song from Iggy Pop and "Play boy" from Indochine. He also created viral clips such as Iron Baby, Iron Man vs Bruce Lee and Dragon Baby. In 2011, Boivin developed his first video game for iOS entitled Crottey Bunny's Scratch N' Dance under the name Monsieur Monsieur Boivin, a company he started with his brother.
