ABOUT
Not to be confused with the Argentinian rapper of the same name…
Daniel DeVita is an editor and filmmaker based in Vancouver, B.C. with over a decade of experience, and hundreds of hours of programming under his belt.
Daniel’s award winning career began in 2007 while completing the Advanced Diploma for Motion Picture Production at Capilano University. He promptly solidified a role in post production at eOne (formerly Paperny Entertainment) working on many prolific Canadian documentary and reality programs, quickly emerging as a key creative and leader in his field.
Daniel’s credentials stretch from documentary to scripted: lead-editing doc-series ‘Yukon Gold’, editing CSA nominated ‘This Is High School’, lead-editing and writing Leo winning reality series ‘Get Stuffed’. He has also received critical acclaim from ShowCase for directing and editing the six part web-series sensation ‘Mental Beast’, and praise for co-directing, co-writing and editing, festival favourite ‘Under Pressure’ of Crazy8s fame. Daniel has most recently been awarded a Leo for his work as on Netflix’s ‘Rust Valley Restorers’, leading to a handful of additional wins for the team on it’s second season.
With a strong vision and a penchant for storytelling, Daniel brings a unique combination of humour, heart and grit, to his work. He’s committed to recognizing the passions and strengths of others both on the screen and in the suite.
Daniel is currently serving as a creative consultant on ‘Rust Valley Restorers’ fourth Season while he enjoys his first year of being a father.
