Davison, Producer / Assistant Director
John
Davison wrote, directed and produced his first show when he was 10. He
staged it in his parents' garage and charged the neighbourhood kids 5¢

to last a week. A producer was born. Since then, John has produced professional

numerous stage productions. During that time, he also completed a B.Comm

Steven
Miric, Director of Photography
Born
in 1965 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Steven's unique style and vision is the
result of the support of both his parents and photographer friends at the
Elektromasinac
Photo Club in Belgrade; the stylings of the French magazine PHOTO,
the feel of the black wave movies of Yugoslavian film, and the education
offered by the B.A. in Cinematography which he completed in 1990. He has
worked as a D.O.P. and a videographer on several films in Yugoslavia and
in Canada. Now based in Toronto, his background lends his work a distinctly
eastern European sensitivity.

Gregory
Greene, Editor
Greg
Greene received his Honours B.A. in Political Science in 1991 and from
those early days as an obnoxious student radical onwards has been fomenting
revolution in Toronto's television and documentary communities. Look for
examples of this in Daddy as Greg edits subliminal flash frames
such as "Long Live Mao Tse Tung!" and "The Revolution is Not a Dinner Party."
When Greg is not leading the proletarian vanguard, he can be found shooting
BRAVO's
news magazine Arts & Minds, MuchMusic,
editing
on the AVID and Media 100, or hosting dinner parties at his curiously bourgeois
liberty-district studio. |

Evgeny
Merman, Production Designer / Costume Design
Evgeny
Merman was born in Ukraine - under the communist regime, smack dab in the
middle of the cold war. Freedom came in the form of the Middle East,
where he developed his artistic career in sunny Tel Aviv for 8 years. The
lure of The Big Apple catapulted him across the ocean to the Imperialistic
West where he successfully continues his work as an Art Director &
Production Designer for film and video productions. His path down the yellow
brick road led Evgeny to Toronto where his first contribution was Daddy.
