David Roby

David Roby was born and raised in Toronto. He majored in Digital Image and Sound at Concordia University and, upon returning to his hometown, has worked for nearly 20 years in the VFX industry on several award-winning TV and film projects.

Although he loves his job, bringing stories to life, and making the impossible possible on screen, he is also eager to tell his own stories.

His love of sci-fi storytelling stems from many an hour in his youth watching Star Trek and Star Wars; reading Ender's Game, Dune, and the X-Wing series; and playing Mass Effect. To him, the genre provides (aside from a cool-ass spaceship or two) a fantastic lens with which we can extrapolate and examine our own lives.

In addition to writing, he enjoys making props, painting, and building Lego with his daughter.
