People
Founder · Author · Director
Author, screenwriter, and award-winning director/producer. Computer Engineering at McMaster, Advanced TV & Film at Sheridan, then sixteen years on set as an assistant director in Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Halifax — including Suits and The Boys. Member of the DGC, WGC, and CMPA. He founded Synapz in 2014 to make Canadian entertainment, and later co-founded SAGA to give filmmakers the tools he wished he had on a first feature.
Executive Producer · CEO, SAGA
Executive producer on Synapz films. Co-founder and CEO of SAGA — the rare exec who can talk both story structure and the pipeline that gets a scene into the cut.
What we make
Features, series, music videos, and branded films. Development through finish — treatments, boards, Unreal and motion capture, generative cinema, classical coverage.
Original songs, film and television scores, audiobooks, and advertising sound. Thirty years of performance in the room, generative tools on the desk.
Literary and graphic novels, scripts, and IP development. We incubate worlds meant to live across more than one medium.
On generative cinema
Necessity is why this studio exists in its current form. High production value, small budgets, real deadlines. Unreal Engine, motion capture, and generative picture are not a gimmick here — they are how Awake gets cut in ninety days, how Crave lands as CGI animation, and how a music video can land like a hundred-thousand-dollar piece.
