ABOUT THE PANELISTS
François Dompierre (Writer / Director) was born and raised in Quebec City, Canada, and obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies from the University of Montreal in 1997. His undergraduate thesis film Trente Secondes (Thirty Seconds) screened at several prominent festivals, including the Montreal World Film Festival. After a short stint at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, he started working as a second assistant director in Montreal, immersing himself in both film and television projects there. François then made his way back to Los Angeles a few years later when he was accepted into the graduate film program at the University of Southern California, where he honed his creative skills. While at USC, François wrote and directed several innovative short films. He also contributed creatively to Playing, 2+1, A Kiss on the Nose, and the award-winning 9:30, screening to critical acclaim at Cannes and other festivals internationally.
Gavin Kelly (Cinematographer) first experimented with cinema at the age of ten with a Fisher-Price PXL 2000 video camera. His formal education began at the University of California in San Diego, where he earned a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Media. Gavin then continued film studies at the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television, graduating with his Masters in Production in 2004. In 2005 Gavin received the prestigious A.S.C. Charles B. Lang Heritage Award for Outstanding Cinematography, Honorable Mention, from the American Society of Cinematographers, a distinction that celebrates rising new talent in cinematography. Gavin’s recent films include West Bank Story, which premiered at Sundance and won the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film at the 2007 Academy Awards.
Joey Kern (Actor, "Wes") is perhaps best known for his leading role in the sleeper horror hit Cabin Fever. A classically trained actor, his formal education includes both NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. Joey started his career on stage, performing with such renowned companies as the Atlantic Theater, New Group Theater, and Theatre for a New Audience. His feature film debut came in the indie Die Jungfrau (The Virgin). He followed that with an appearance on HBO’s Sex and the City. Subsequent film credits include Super Troopers, Love the Hard Way (starring Adrien Brody), XX/XY, Garmento, and Grind. In addition to all the days before tomorrow, Joey can be seen in the upcoming features Lovewrecked (Amanda Bynes, Jamie-Lynn DiScala, and Fred Willard), One Part Sugar (Justin Long, Danny DeVito) and the 2006 Slamdance hit The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang (with Justin Long).
