Biography

Bill Boyle is known for Now & Forever (2002), Prairie Landscapes (1977) and Sealed with a Kiss (1998).

During the mid to late 1970s, while raising capital to fund his various film projects, Bill operated a public relations company called Profile out of an office in the trendy Yorkville district of Toronto. The company designed press packages for emerging Canadian talent such as singer/TV Hostess Julie Amato and actors/actresses Winston Rekert, Chuck Shamata, Helen Shaver, Lynne Griffin and the Dale sisters. At the time, he shared an old house near High Park with 3 other room mates, all of whom, like Bill, went on to work in the film industry: writer/director Keith Ross Leckie, producer Mary Young Leckie and writer/film critic Dale Cooper. Bill (as director), Keith (producer/assistant Director) and Dale (script-writer) worked together only once on a feature film, "Prairie Landscapes" which was filmed in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan during the summer of 1977. Shot in 2 weeks on a shoestring government grant, it required many retakes for which there has never been a budget and the film remains unfinished.
