Backstory
Born
- Born first generation Canadian to immigrant parents from Europe at Branson Hospital in North York, Ontario.
- Grew up in the small town of Richmond Hill, Ontario Canada, a suburb of the Greater Toronto Area.
Elementary School
- Attending Charles Howitt Public School, he began his venture into the world of entertainment on stage. Having been in school plays, he took to performance thoroughly and enjoyed his time on stage. Although fond of the spoken word, William also wanted to discover the art of bringing the stories and ideas to paper and life from inception. Opting to create sets and assisting with production management, he also lent his hand to “behind the scenes” work.
- Eager to investigate the use of film in school projects. Applying a creative touch to each mini-production, staff and students looked forward to watching upcoming films. It was towards the end of his elementary school experience that William was given the use of an 8mm digital video camera by his parents. At a time when these cameras were $5000.00, it was not taken lightly.
Secondary School
