AGATA DE SANTIS>>> Agata De Santis is not quite sure how she ended up as a producer, but it turns out that her tendencies towards neurotic organization and multitasking were an attractive feature for directors in search of a producer. Self-diagnosed with Masochistic Personality Disorder (for letting said directors suck her in into their madness), Agata has decided to make her next project one of her own: MAL'OCCHIO, a documentary on the evil eye superstition that she is directing and producing. Her latest projects, THE GRANDFATHER PARADOX and THE ECSTASY NOTE, have both completed successful and award-winning film festival runs. Recent credits include the documentary video, UNLIKELY PILGRIMS; and the short film, WILDFLOWERS/LES FLEURS SAUVAGES. Agata can also be heard every Monday night on CKUT 90.3FM, as host of Underground Sounds.

GEOFFREY ULOTH>>> A former professional snowboarder, Geoffrey Uloth is a graduate of Communication Studies at Concordia University in Montreal. After founding his independent production company, Evergon Arts, Geoff has spent the last eight years working within the Montreal film community, and has written, directed and produced four award-winning short films, as well as several TV spots. WILDFLOWERS/LES FLEURS SAUVAGES, a 14-minute short, earned four festival awards, including the C.S.C (Canadian Society of Cinematographers) award for best cinematography as well as the award for Best Dramatic Short at the Niagara Independent Film Festival. His short, THE ECSTASY NOTE, won a coveted spot in the Top 35 of the Fest at the Slamdance Film Festival Screenplay Competition, out of over 1800 screenplays, and won Best Independent Comedy at the 2007 Niagara Independent Film Festival. Geoffrey currently has three feature films in development. He is a regular instructor at Trebas Institute in Montreal.

JEAN-FRANÇOIS DA SYLVA>>> Jean-François Da Sylva is not one of those genius filmmakers that shot their first film at seven. He was too busy talking his mouth off, writing and drawing, trying to get people interested in his sci-fi universe. It’s only when he realized that films could be used to command the attention of large groups of people that he began to seriously consider filmmaking. It seemed easy at the time. How wrong he was! So far he has directed TV pilots, short films, documentaries and short television pieces in order to hone his skills as visual storyteller. THE GRANDFATHER PARADOX is his latest project, entirely self-financed, and he proclaims it is the “best dollar-to-production-value ratio ever seen”. That’s his way of saying that the film looks great and that everyone worked on it for free!

LAURA IERACI>>> Laura Ieraci is news editor at the Catholic Times, a Montreal-based newspaper that serves Quebec’s English-speaking Catholic community. She recently received her master’s in communications from Ithaca College, New York. While in Ithaca, Laura wrote for The Gumdrop Shop, a children’s program on community television. UNLIKELY PILGRIMS is Laura’s first documentary film.
