About Us
About Us
Lost Mile Studios is an Ontario production/post production company focused on innovative concepts with a modern approach to the concept. Our In-House team comprises of professionals in Film, TV, and I.T., which we think gives us a huge competitive edge by leveraging the amount of knowledge within our doors.
Lost Mile is now in its third year of operation, having evolved significantly since its founding. This year promises to be its biggest yet; in addition to an ever-growing clientele, the base of operations will be expanding to include more artists, more workstations, and a pipeline that can accommodate a much larger workload.
The company launched its official website in December of 2011, in conjunction with the announcement of our first short film; Lamb. Since then we have grown in size, completed filming of our project, and landed clients larger than we dreamt possible in our first two years on the market.
Currently, Lost Mile is hard at work on a full production slate. In addition to producing content for film, television, and new media, the company continues to focus on visual effects production, and motion graphics. We have learnt a lot in the last two years working by ourselves, and it shows.

Andrew has a fun, and loving demeanor, however he lives life like its business; thus dedicating his heart and soul to Lost Mile.
As a child he had an overactive imagination, which of course led to him writing numerous things, from being known in elementary school as a writer, to being one of the top film students in High School, and winning a few awards inbetween; Andrew has always been a perfectionist with his work, while trying to tackle the next big thing, constantly trying to outdo himself, and take on larger, more complicated projects.

Mark Church
DirectorMark has always maintained that he is an “art kid” at heart, referencing his love for the arts within his youthful spirit. Mark’s first love was music, falling at an early age as he explored the realm of sound with his guitar and pretty much anything that made noise. As time passed on he soon developed a mistress in art: film making. She captivated his mind and he decided to pursue her as not only a means of living but a way of life and creative release.
Inspired by the likes of Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and the Coen Brothers, Mark wanted to focus on films that have a strong story and clever dialogue rather than big names and flashy effects. Without much money or a plan B Mark ventured from his small town to the big city (Toronto) to attend film school and begin his journey in the business. Film school saw him take home 2 awards, one for editing and one for directing, showing his diverse interest in all aspects of producing a film.
As a freelancing “Preditor” (Producer/editor) he has worked with local bands and music producers such as Farley Flex to produce short docs and video’s as well as editing a feature doc about the hardships of Filipino nannies.
Currently Mark works on a contractual basis for many different companies including Deluxe Post Production, CBC, Radke Film Group, and many more.
His desire has always been to direct and he is always searching for new projects that he can believe in. He continues directing interesting scripts, hoping to make his mark in the industry as a respected director that people can count on for a well done film.Steve DalCin
Director of PhotographyCurrently working in the professional film industry within Toronto, Steve has always taken a keen interest in motion based photography. From small video camera's to the big 35mm hollywood film cameras, he will try to get the best image on whatever medium he is shooting on. A gear nut at heart, he is always looking at the newest toys to work with and expand his knowledge of image making. With no intention of fame Steve has a, do the best you can-work hard mentality, which shows in his work and attitude on set. His experience includes working with camera's such as the Panavision gold II, ARRI BL3, RED EPIC,SCARLETX,RED ONE, ARRI ALEXA and more.
