About

Brad Fox has been fixated on feature film since he was old enough to sit upright in a cinema, and enraptured with new-media since he struggled to learn enough UNIX to play tic-tac-toe over e-mail in high-school via a VT-100 terminal.

As a producer and production finance coordinator with Toronto-based Strada Films, Brad has had the pleasure of working on high-profile feature film projects with some of Canada’s best-known directors, including Atom Egoyan, Norman Jewison, and Robert Lepage.

He has also co-produced the Talent Lab, the developmental program of the Toronto International Film Festival since 2007.

As a co-founder and the executive producer of the Canadian Comedy Award winning Rocket Ace Moving Pictures, Brad has been at the forefront of some of this countries earliest forays into Internet-based serialized media, including producing the cult podcasts “Dead End Days” and “Cerealized”. RAMP continues to blaze trails including founding Couchathon.com, the pre-eminent “locking comedians in a room” charity webathon for Sick Kids Foundation.

A long-time proponent of forward-thinking change to copyright and intellectual property law, Brad has written and spoken on the topic of media rights in the 21st century for venues as disparate as the University of Regina, various film festivals, and the OSS legal website Groklaw.net.

A lifelong fan of Comics, Brad has been hired three times to write on graphic literature for various North American magazines, all of which ceased publishing prior to any of his columns seeing publication. Since that time many excellent dedicated comics blogs have emerged, any one of which do a better job than he would, so he no longer feels the need to kill print magazines with his writing.

Despite his other accomplishments, the question most asked Brad by strangers is how he became the most well known professional Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament referee in the world, one of only six individuals in history to hold an “I” class license for the sport. The official answer is that it’s a long story involving a snowstorm.
