Geoffrey Uloth is a Montreal-based filmmaker who has written and directed several award-winning short films, music videos and television series. He received international recognition for his short films, Wildflowers, The Ecstasy Note and Moment, with the first two premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival. Along with host Cyril Chauquet, he created the hit adventure television series, Chasing Monsters, which is now broadcast in over 120 countries worldwide.

Life and Career
Geoffrey Uloth was born to an English-speaking family in a French-speaking suburb of Montreal, Canada, during the "two solitudes." Unable to play with the neighbourhood kids as a result, he spent much of his youth making up fantastical stories with his filmmaker siblings, David Uloth, and Holly Uloth. During adolescence, he was an avid reader and comic book collector, particularly the Marvel Comics series, Rom the Spaceknight, which he owns in its entirety. His mother had recurring cancer for much of his youth and died soon after his 21st birthday, and he and his siblings used storytelling to deal with the trauma. Subsequently, many of his films feature outsiders dealing with loss or loneliness and attempting to connect with an individual or group. After earning a degree in Liberal Arts from Dawson College, he spent three years training in competitive snowboarding and went pro with Burton Snowboards for one season. He graduated with a B.A. in Communication Studies at Concordia University and his student film, The Fight For Freedom, a satire propaganda film about propaganda in the modern world, was officially selected by the Montreal World Film Festival.

His short film, Wildflowers (2003), a surreal story about aging and suicide, was filmed by world-renowned cinematographer, Yves Bélanger. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and won Best Independent Drama at the 2005 Niagara Indie Filmfest, Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography at the 2004 Golden Sheaf Awards and a 2004 Canadian Society of Cinematographers Award for Best Cinematography in a Dramatic Short.

Geoffrey again teamed up with Yves Bélanger on The Ecstasy Note, an absurd dark comedy about a man who can create an addictive sound by stabbing himself in the hand with a metal fork. Officially selected by the Toronto International Film Festival, the film became one of Canada's highest-grossing short films after being licensed by CBC, Canal+, Moviola! and Fox International. The film won Best Independent Comedy at the Niagara Indie FilmFest.

In 2014, he developed the adventure series, Chasing Monsters (2015-2019), with host, Cyril Chauquet. Distributed internationally by Beyond Distribution, the show is broadcast in 120 territories around the world on Netflix, Discovery Channel and National Geographic Channel and BBC Earth among others. Men's Journal ranked Chasing Monsters 8th on their list of "The 13 Best Adventure Movies Now Streaming on Netflix."

With Moment (2019) - a dark, heartfelt reinvention of the superhero genre- Geoffrey won multiple awards, including Best International Short Film at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFFF), Best Sci-Fi Short Film at the Saint Petersburg International Film Festival, and Audience Awards at the Fantasia International Film Festival and the Toronto After Dark Film Festival.

He directs branded content for prominent brands and organizations, and is currently developing a science-fiction feature film about cloning and a television series based on his short film, Moment.

Geoffrey is of Irish, Scottish, British and German ancestry.
