Daniel Jeffery is a lifelong independent filmmaker whose comedy and documentary short films explore subjects like pet euthanasia, adult circumcision, family, and friendship. His absurdist talking-dog comedy, A New Leash On Life, has screened at over 30 international festivals (VIFF 20’; EIFF 20’; DC Shorts 20’) and broadcast Canada-wide on CBC, while his impromptu home movie, Free Range, premiered at DOXA Documentary FF 21’. In 2022, he was a recipient of the DGC Award for Best Director at Vancouver’s Run N’ Gun Film Competition for his team’s short film, Stanley Kubrick’s The Moon Landing. Daniel holds a B.F.A. in Film Production from Simon Fraser University and currently works in-house as a filmmaker for Lush North America.
