TYLER BOYCO

ABOUT TYLER BOYCO

 

 

I was born at a very young age in Toronto and raised in rural Keswick where the only source of entertainment was skateboarding and playing hockey. My friends and I would cut together skate videos from our old RCA camcorder and perform wrestling "shows" in a makeshift ring in our basements, inviting the entire street to watch, while selling them the VHS copy of it afterwards. I realized early on I wanted to make movies and entertain.

​

After graduating with honours from Durham and Sheridan College, I went on to become a production coordinator for both indie productions and major studio features while pursuing my passion of writing and directing film and television.

​

My short film The Talk, has premiered at numerous festivals around the world and was a finalist in Kevin Hart's "Eat My Shorts" competition at Just For Laughs 42. I am also the co-creator of the web series Bluebird, which is being developed for television with Don Ferguson Productions.

​

At present I am in pre-production of my first feature, horror/comedy Whatever Happened to Olivia Boone? while developing a couple of other scripts. I currently reside in the Peterborough, Ontario area with my brilliant fiancee Dayna and my not-so-brilliant poodle Daisy, who love to hear about all my projects all of the time.

​

I am always eager to make stuff, so hit me back, just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan... wait
