Daniel Wilson

Daniel Wilson is a Toronto-based writer/producer/director and owner of Grand Slam Pictures. Wilson is best known for the critically-acclaimed feature Steve which is generally regarded as the first truly improvised movie, and which the Toronto Star called a 'seductive cinematic experience'. Wilson has produced four features to date, all four of which he directed and three of which he wrote.  His latest movie is I Hate Toronto: A Love Story which had its world premiere on Sept 9, 2011 in Toronto, and will open worldwide in 2012.

Wilson is now working on financing his fifth and sixth features, both of which are based on screenplays that he wrote. Gitmo is a provocative psycho-political thriller inspired by actual events that have taken place at the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Brothers of the Battery is an epic family drama about two baseball-playing brothers who dream of playing in the Major leagues together, but one of them is forced to struggle up through the Dominican winter league.

Wilson is a Canadian citizen, but he was born in Jamaica and grew up in Malaysia, Cyprus, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. He has worked in Toronto, San Francisco and New York. He is now based in Toronto, Canada.
