BIO

Born and raised on a farm in southern Manitoba, and through various circuitous routes, ended up in Toronto, Ontario (as well as Paris, France and Vancouver, BC) in the early 2000s.  First as a professional musician, then later a rock climbing guide, Dale found a home in film production by way of lifestyle television.  Early success in documentaries progressed into commercial and narrative filmmaking.  Concurrent with shooting, Dale worked as a gaffer for some of the country’s best cinematographers.  Now helming cameras full-time, Dale brings his decade of lighting mastery along with his organic and nostalgic style of filmmaking to commercial, corporate, and narrative creative partners.  Before anything Dale is a visual artist and has devoted his life to the craft of creation.  A world of creation where empathy and emotion are central to his body of work.
