Jason Delaney

Jason Delaney is a third generation Vancouverite, and a graduate from University of British Columbia's prestigious creative writing program. He has completed a dozen screenplays and his rewrite of Chestnut: The Hero of Central Park (2005), for Keystone Entertainment of Air Bud fame, featured academy award nominee Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) performing his dialogue. He is developing a reality television concept with Vancouver's Barbershop Films and completed a family feature film script, 'Bark Ranger' for Breakthrough Entertainment which was released in the spring of 2015, and featured the voice talents of Jon Lovitz. Jason's adventurous spirit has taken him to some of the remotest locations left on earth. Working as a mineral prospector, and he has worked in Northern BC and the Northwest Territories, making his way above the Arctic Circle in 2006. These experiences infuse his writing with a sense of dynamic realism, and having stared down two juvenile Grizzly Bears from the barrel of a shotgun without incident in 2007, makes most writing deadlines seem rather pedestrian by comparison. He has been working as a writer full-time since 2008, He is happily married for four times the national average and counting, with two kids, a cat, and a cross-over vehicle which he quietly loathes. Taking his cue from lessons learned in kindergarten, he does not try and fix things that aren't broken and plays well with others.
