When I Think Of Christmas - Director Peter Benson, 1st AD Dylan Staniforth, DOP Jeremy Johnson
Dylan Staniforth was born into a film industry family. With a production manager mother, stills photographer father, and transport captain stepdad, Dylan was never far from a film set. This comfort paved the way for his own experience with production - seeing him move up from background performer to background performer coordinator by the time he finished school.

With film in his blood, Dylan has tried on many production hats over the years. From coordinating and casting background performers, working in the locations department, working as an assistant director, and working as a unit manager, Dylan's wealth of pragmatic experience grants him flexibility and ease on set.

Now located on beautiful Vancouver Island with his small family, Dylan enjoys the perks of island life and the vibrant film community found there.
