Producer J. Miles Dale on Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein'

As Guillermo del Toro earned another Oscar for his 2018 sci-fi romance The Shape of Water shot in Ontario, J. Miles Dale, the film’s producer, proudly said of most key creative positions, from the production and costume designers to the sound team and editor: “They’re all Canadian.”

Now, after del Toro shot his latest creature feature, Frankenstein , on soundstages in Toronto , Dale says his creative artists and department heads not only are world-beaters but also part of “our film family.” That close-knit community of artists — many of whom are members of the Directors Guild of Canada — Ontario — follows del Toro’s long collaboration with Canadian crews on movies he shot locally.
