Director Biography - Dorian Burns-Coyne

In his debut short film, Three Sheets To The Wind, Dorian combines his Nova Scotian sailing upbringing with the stressors and coping mechanisms of everyday men. This is a theme Dorian would like to pursue further in future work, giving a voice to - not the voiceless, but - those convinced their voice weakens them.

Originally from rural Nova Scotia, Dorian now resides in downtown Toronto.
