Dave Shelton - film and television writer/director/cartoonist/voice actor
  Dave Shelton Teacher Toronto Academy Of Acting

In moviemaking it doesn't matter how great the actors are or that the director has won three academy awards, if the script doesn't work, the movie will most likely fail. The script is the spine that keeps the film's body alive and erect. Without a good script, the movie will collapse. No great actor can save a bad script. That's why screenwriters are probably the most valuable part of the entire film process.

Dave Shelton's writing has been compared to the likes of Ray Bradbury (an admitted fan of Dave's), David Lynch and Stephen King. In his over 25 years in the entertainment industry Dave has worked with many of Hollywood's top producers, directors, networks and actors including Everybody Love Raymond, Tim Allen (The Santa Clause), Jennette McCurdy (ICarly), Jamie Kennedy (Scream), Roland Kickinger (Terminator Salvation), National Lampoon, MTV, Nickelodeon, Disney, the Sci-Fi Channel, Warner Bros. and others and has spoken, taught and appeared to full audiences all over the country. His sitcom pilot Against Type, starring Roland Kickinger, Jillian Clare (Spiderman, Days of Our Lives) and Jennette McCurdy was picked up for international distribution and domestically in over forty US markets on March 15th, 2009.

Dave's approach to teaching is the same as his passion for his work, and that is that originality, talent and an unending desire to do what you love without compromise is the driving and essential force to success. This beyond the box thinking as well as Dave's calm but contagious demeanor is what brings people to him for advice and teachings. Students and audiences alike can't help but absorb that positive energy Dave exhumes in droves. Dave inspires, spurs imaginative thought and imparts the knowledge that the story's the thing. And, beyond this, the catalyst for any good writing, Dave is a stickler for dialogue that works, continuity that makes sense and pacing that whisks the audience on an adventure which leaves the theater with them long after the credits have ended.

Some of the upcoming projects for Dave include the horror films Nightmare Carnival and Shrieking Violet, his kids show Snuggy Bear and the T-Shirt Kids © as well as five other film projects.
