Hi there, I am Dan Bener an experienced media production professional with a strong work ethic and a passion for learning.
I recently graduated from Toronto Metropolitan University’s RTA Media Production program, where I gained hands-on experience in every stage of production, from pre-production to post. During my time there, I worked on various projects, including producing short films and web series, which helped me develop a comprehensive understanding of the production process.
I am particularly interested in media development, on-set assistance, and editing, though I’m always eager to help wherever needed. My passion for learning drives me to explore every aspect of the industry, and I’m constantly seeking new opportunities to expand my skills.
I’m proficient with tools such as Unreal Engine, Adobe Suite, and DaVinci Resolve, and I have experience with camera, audio, and lighting equipment. Additionally, I’m skilled in directing talent, creating paperwork, budgeting, and scheduling.
Moving forward, I’m excited to continue honing my skills in media production and contribute to innovative projects that tell compelling stories or push the boundaries of visual media. Whether it’s through collaboration or individual work, I’m always ready for the next challenge!
