Grand Slam Pictures is a motion picture production company owned and operated by Toronto-based writer/producer/director Daniel Wilson.  The company’s mission is to create prestige feature films, with significant box office potential, that are powerful, provocative, entertaining and inspiring.

Our latest effort is I Hate Toronto: A Love Story -- a provocative dramedy about a man who gives himself a year to live and resolves to sleep with as many women as possible before he dies.  This movie just had its world premiere and it will open in 2012.

Grand Slam has a multitude of movies in various phases of development and financing, with the current focus being on two completed screenplays by Daniel Wilson: the controversial psychological-thriller Gitmo and the epic family/baseball drama Brothers of the Battery.

Daniel Wilson studied film for five years at Western University (London, Canada) and at Ryerson University (Toronto, Canada).  In 1994, he wrote, produced, directed and self-financed his first feature film entitled 1994.  His second film was Steve, which was completed in 2000, and which received universal critical acclaim, with the Toronto Star calling it a “seductive cinematic experience”. 

In 2005, he wrote, produced and directed the psychological-thriller The Long Weekend. CBC radio called it a mix of The Big Chill, Halloween, Evil Dead and The Truman Show.

The official launch of Grand Slam Pictures was at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
