Josh Kerr, Creative Producer

Josh is a true master of trivia. He is so interested in everything he sees and hears that it sticks in his head. His inquisitive mind is an asset in the creative industry: He asks all the right questions to make sure that he understands every aspect of a subject or story before turning it from concept into film.

She is an ambitious, avid traveller who has been to over 30 countries and loves learning about new cultures. Daryl’s hobbies include painting, drawing, sports (especially the Toronto Maple Leafs!), surfing, nature, animals and fashion.

Anton, Office Mascot 

We can only guess at Anton’s prior life before Lee liberated him from the musty confines of a roadside antique barn many years ago. True, his head was smashed in and his limbs contorted. But with loving restoration, a new name and a business suit, Anton was elevated to the lofty position of Office Mascot, where he holds court with an air of quiet elegance, overseeing Big Red Oak’s operations while frightening unsuspecting guests and bewildering new staff members. 

Joel Ruscinski,
Creative Producer

Joel has what he calls ‘camera vision’ -- the ability to see movie moments unfolding in real life. Creativity and innovation are at the core of his being, and he always has ideas popping up in his head. He admits that some of them are pretty far out, but a lot of them are well worth exploring! ‘Never stop learning’ is Joel’s motto.
