Born and raised in London, England - the youngest son of playwright and novelist Christopher Wilkins - Toby relocated to Los Angeles in the '90s to pursue a career in entertainment.
With an extensive background in editing, graphic design, visual effects, and post-production, filmmaker Toby Wilkins has been bringing his unique directing talents to feature films, television, and short-form content for the big and small screens for two decades.
Wilkins' feature debut "Splinter" hit theatres on Halloween 2008 after winning six ScreamFest Awards including Best Director and Best Picture, a 2009 Saturn Award nomination for Best Horror Film, and nominations for Best Horror Movie and Most Memorable Mutilation at the 2009 Spike TV Scream Awards. "Splinter" received rave reviews from The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, LA Times, New York Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Fangoria, Paper Magazine, At The Movies, The Times of London, The Daily Telegraph, USA Today, Variety, Ain't It Cool News, KCRW, LA Weekly, and dozens of horror blogs. "Splinter" also appeared on over two dozen Best Of lists including #1 horror movie of 2008 from AMC TV, was featured in the 2014 documentary The 50 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen, and maintains a Rotten Tomatoes 'Top Critics' score of 81% fresh.
Wilkins' first foray into TV came in 2011 when he was tapped by showrunner Jeff Davis (Criminal Minds) to direct three episodes early in the first season of his now smash hit series "Teen Wolf" for MTV. Wilkins was then hand picked by creator Ben Ketai to direct the entire third season of his Sony/Crackle action thriller "Chosen" starring Chad Michael Murray and Rose McGowan which Wilkins also edited.
Wilkins' films have been entertaining audiences since 1999, receiving recognition at the world's most prestigious film festivals. Ranging from multiple Sundance Film Festival premieres including the quirky comedy I Lost 20lbs In Two Months, Ask Me How (2002), the Austin Film Festival audience award winning dark comedy Kidney Thieves (2006), and the ScreamFest Award winning thriller Staring at the Sun (2005) which brought his distinctive style to the attention of horror legend Sam Raimi who shepherded Wilkins through the next phase of his career culminating in his second feature, the third installment of Sony Pictures' $280M "Grudge" franchise in 2009.
Also an accomplished editor, Wilkins' most notable credits include the multi-award-winning horror feature "Beneath", three seasons of Sony Crackle's "Startup", and two seasons of "Chosen" before going on to direct the entire third season of the series.

Chris Boucher was best known as a scriptwriter for Doctor Who (1963) during seasons 14 and 15. After grammar school, Boucher spent a year in Australia working on a railway before returning to Britain. His proper working life began as a management trainee for Calor Gas, a key company supplying liquefied petroleum gas to the UK. Boucher's employers were eager for him to attain further qualifications and sent him to Essex University, from where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. At this juncture, he turned to writing as a means to gain extra income. He began by supplying short stories to women's magazines. His first forays into writing for television were for the series Braden's Week (1968) and as a creator of gags for Dave Allen's show .
As a youngster, Boucher had been fascinated with science fiction, avidly devouring magazines like Amazing Stories and New Worlds. He was thus quick to act on his agent's advice that he submit some of his own ideas to Doctor Who writer/script editor Robert Holmes and producer Philip Hinchcliffe. This resulted in Boucher being commissioned to write the episodes The Face of Evil, The Robots of Death and Image of the Fendahl, in the process bringing to life Tom Baker 's companion character Leela (played by Louise Jameson). Having by now quit his job at Calor Gas, Boucher went on to work as a script editor and writer for Blake's 7 (1978), Juliet Bravo (1980) and Bergerac (1981), as well as devising his own short-lived sci-fi series Star Cops (1987). Boucher attributed the rather brief run of Star Cops on the BBC to a poor time slot. Later in his career, he turned to writing several Doctor Who novelisations which featured the character of Leela.- Kate Walsh was born on 20 February 1983 in Burnham-on-Crouch, Maldon, Essex, England, UK.
