Duane Crichton

Ontario

I'm a director that consistently applies a sincere and cinematic storytelling approach to scripted, documentary, and commercial projects.

I directed my first hour long dramatic episode this year - "A Starlet is Born" Murdoch Mysteries (season 18).

My documentary Black Life: Untold Stories Justice Denied premiered at TIFF 2023 prior to airing on CBC. I'm also currently in development of my first feature length documentary.

My fourth short film Home was featured on the CBC's Short Film Face Off in fall '24. Previously, my short film Swimmer was selected for both The New York Shorts and the Toronto Short Film festival in 2022.

I have also directed over a hundred commercials for top brands including Home Depot, Rogers, CIBC, and Procter & Gamble, just to name a few. I've also received the Shots Young Director Award at Cannes and an Atomic Award for my brand work. In my early career I directed countless music videos leading to winning two Much Music Video awards.
