He worked for a local TV station and theatre while in college. At the time he was offered a chance to come to Canada. After finishing his studies, Denis decided to make Canada his home. Then, after he took a course in photography, his passion for visual storytelling was rekindled and he applied to Vancouver Film School hoping to pursue a career in the art of filmmaking. Denis loves potatoes and Vodka; he hates stupid people. He wants to make it big by doing what he loves the most, making movies.
Chad Margulius (Producer/AD/LM): Chad is known to have baller status in whatever he does. He attended Vancouver Film School where he produced, assistant directed, and even did sound for various projects, including; The Light of Inspiration and Alone with the Devil. Most recently Chad found himself on the set of a short film, which shall remane nameless, where he was not satisfied with the inefficiency of the set and wrote a nine page rant on how the people involved were too absurd for him to work with again. It is this demand for perfection that makes him a valuable asset to any legitimate film set.
