Chris Donald Griffin
Angry Bear Film Productions Writer/Director/Producer
Toronto, Ontario
Comedy and science fiction, those are my passions.
I work professionally as an IATSE film/tv lighting technician in Toronto. Over the last fifteen or so years, storytelling has been my real passion. I wrote/directed/produced seven short films. I wrote nine feature screenplays, co-wrote two feature screenplays, and wrote three tv pilots. Writing is an obsession of mine; something I do to entertain myself, but it has also helped me through a lot of hard times. I also entertained a lot of my sci-fi/fantasy writer buddies this pandemic by hosting online table reads. I needed to do something with my writing; I am an entertainer at heart.
Filmmaking has been my mission, but I haven't been able to stop writing. I never considered a career as a screenwriter, until my screenplays started to win awards in smaller competitions, over the last couple of years. I'm not sure what to do with my writing, and I'm hoping this conference will provide me with a little direction.
