Rock �n� Roll corrupted Dale at an early age. As the �Don Kirschner� of Forest Heights Collegiate, he created an annual music variety show. After graduation, Dale promoted rock shows, managed a band and quickly decided that life on the road was too much like a Journey song. By the time Aerosmith asked him to design their live show set, Dale had already �restarted� his directing career. Award-winning music videos for Crash Test Dummies (�The Superman Song�) Rush, Cowboy Junkies and Kim Mitchell soon followed. Having conquered MTV, Dale started collecting gold-plated statuettes for TV commercials and film. His first short film �The Truth About Head� premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and garnered 4 awards. To top it off, NOW Magazine picked him as one of the �Top 10 Canadians� to look out for future glory. (No word if he was ranked higher or lower than Justin Bieber.) |
As a filmmaker, Dale has no boundaries. Elevating each piece is his mastery of the elements of filmmaking: that extra something extracted from each performer, an unexpected camera angle, the salient detail. And consistent through it all is that magnificent sense of story. That, and a kick-ass rock soundtrack. |
