His short romantic comedy Perceptions screened at nearly 50 international film festivals, while his documentary Deserted, which he co-wrote and directed, earned a Screen Nova Scotia Award nomination for its exploration of food insecurity in Atlantic Canada. He is currently developing a slate of projects including the award-winning feature rom-com Caramel Drizzle, the elevated thriller Transfusion, and the half-hour dramedy series The O’Fagans.

Recognized as an emerging producer by Screen Nova Scotia, Ian has further developed his craft through advanced training with industry leaders including John Yorke, Blake Masters, and Steve Kaplan.
