Hailing from a land where it is "Summer Every Damn Day", Tucson, AZ — Toby Canto knew from an early age what he wanted to do... play make believe and action figures ALL THE TIME. Years down the road he found several like minded individuals in high school and college that motivated him to develop his passion for storytelling.

During his senior year at the University of Arizona, his Producing Capstone class pulled off the impossible, by being the first to produce a feature film as a final project, 'Dorm of the Dead' in 2008. Soon after, Toby produced the feature film 'Summertime Killers' directed by friend and colleague Gary Sundt. Following that, he spent a number of years in the always awesome Austin, TX where he established his own production company, Pop Art Pictures, and wrote & directed his second feature film - a love letter to 80's horror comedies, 'Knock Knock'.

He now resides in Los Angeles, where he's been shaking up the scene with a healthy dose of superheroes, monsters, pop culture, and a little bit of dancing. He GREATLY THANKS his familia and friends for their support in allowing him to think that living in a cardboard box is cool for now, to you know… pursue art and stuff.
