Born in Etobicoke, Ontario, Graham Yost was the son of popular Canadian broadcaster Elwy Yost. He started out as a writer on shows like children's cowboy caper "Hey Dude" (Nickelodeon, 1989-1991) and high-concept sitcom "Herman's Head" (Fox 1991-94) before his script for an action thriller called "Speed" turned into an enormous hit, Yost would follow up with "Broken Arrow" (1996), and "Hard Rain" (1998).

Along with his big-screen work, Yost returned to TV as the supervising producer and writer (and also director, for one episode) of the Ron Howard-produced miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon" (HBO 1998).

Yost then wound down his film career following "Mission To Mars" (2000), gravitating back towards television as a writer and executive producer on shows, such as the ambitious procedural crime drama "Boomtown" (NBC 2002-03), the quirky detective comedy-drama "Raines" (NBC 2007).

Those shows did not last, but the critical success of the World War II drama "The Pacific" (HBO 2010), the alien-invasion drama "Falling Skies" (TNT 2011), the Cold War spy drama "The Americans" (FX 2013-2018), and the Elmore Leonard revenge drama "Justified" established Yost as a successful writer-producer.

Mike Bullard accomplished something no other Canadian had before: he hosted Canada's first truly successful nightly talk show. The long running "Open Mike with Mike Bullard" won Gemini Awards and was the most-watched late-night talk show in Canada's largest market, comparable in popularity and success to late-night heavyweights Letterman and Leno.

One of Canada's most recognized celebrities, Mike Bullard was a multi-disciplinary comic who had published a book, "Open Book: Little Thoughts from a Big Head" (Doubleday), and had also recorded a CD, "Stick 2 Comedy" (BMG). Recognized as "Favourite Talk Show Host" by the readers of TV Guide, Mike Bullard had come a long way from the grind of Canada's comedy club circuit, where for over a decade he cultivated a reputation as one of the quickest and cleverest club wits in the country. A native of Mississauga, Ontario, Bullard worked full-time at other occupations while simultaneously pursuing his comedy career, playing over 1400 gigs in his spare time. Indeed, it was only weeks before "Open Mike with Mike Bullard" launched that Bullard quit his day job at Bell Canada.

"Open Mike with Mike Bullard" debuted quietly in November of 1997 on The Comedy Network and went on to be picked up by the conventional CTV network in 1998. Bullard's razor sharp, often self-deprecating humour, insightful jabs at the human condition and his ability to engage in raunchy, unscripted banter with audience members made the show a favourite with television viewers.

The series gradually achieved status as a key component of the entertainment scene in Canada. Often credited with fostering a Canadian star system, the show has featured a mix of celebrity guests from the worlds of film, television, stage, sports, music and politics on both sides of the border. Notable guests have included Nicolas Cage, Moby, Tommy Lee, Enrique Iglesias, Kathie Lee Gifford, Tony Bennett, Nelly Furtado, Nickelback, Burt Reynolds, Barenaked Ladies, Joan Rivers, Bo Derek and Prime Minister Jean Chretien. While he had enjoyed his success, Mike Bullard remained a Canadian "everyman", tirelessly working on behalf of dozens of charities and giving back to the community. He made over 150 appearances a year for organizations such as The United Way, Big Brothers and Sisters, Foster Parents Plan, Casey House, The Humane Society and the Hospital for Sick Children, among others.

With a healthy outlook on life, Mike Bullard would swim in his pool at home, ride his Yamaha, kayak on the Credit River and walk his dog Yankee.

Chris Di Staulo was an Italian-Canadian filmmaker based in Toronto. His first video camera weighed almost as much as he did. It was big, clunky, and it gave him his first thrill of creating from behind the camera. When he inevitably dropped it, the fury, astonishment, and string of curse words out of his Mother's mouth was a new, exhilarating experience which set him on a path to seek bigger and more extreme reactions from his audience.

Inspired, Chris applied to film school. He promptly received four rejection letters. With nowhere else to turn, he cut his teeth working in production. With some persuasion, persistence and circumstances which his lawyer advises against disclosing, Chris received a Bachelor of Arts (Specialized Honours) degree in Film Directing from York University.

Chris spent over 16 years honing his craft, earning awards at prestigious festivals, including the Cannes International Film Festival Court Métrage, Palm Springs International Film Festival, Las Vegas Film Festival, and Canadian Film Fest. His films were acquired and distributed globally - across Canada, the US, South Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa - on streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video, DirecTV, and other VOD platforms, as well as networks like CBC and ShortsTV. Collectively, his work has amassed millions of views worldwide, reflecting its widespread appeal and impact.

He was a member in good standing of the Writers Guild of Canada (WGC), Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA), Raindance, and the Association of Acting Coaches & Educators (AACE).

Chris was represented by Integral Artists for Film & Television, and Corner Content for Commercial.
