Daniel Gregoire

As the visionary founder of HALON Entertainment, Daniel celebrates his 25+ years of experience in filmmaking, visualization, and storytelling. During his tenure as CEO and Chairman of the Board, he oversaw high-profile projects such as Oscar-winning films (Birdman, Life of Pi), blockbuster franchises (Star Wars, Indiana Jones), and tentpole releases (Ad Astra, Ford vs. Ferrari, World War Z). His creative leadership also extends to directing real-time cinematics and trailers for acclaimed video games (Borderlands 3, Tom Clancy’s The Division, Evolve) just to name a few.


Beyond his pioneering work at HALON, which included the integration of artist-in-the-middle AI workflows and virtual production processes and tools, Daniel’s diverse expertise encompasses Art Direction, Design, and XR Director roles for VR experiences (FIRST, Vanuatu Dreams), Animatics Director for the TV show COSMOS, and consultations on transmedia pipelines for FOX Studios and Microsoft’s Azure Remote Production Task Force.


A BAFTA member and renowned speaker, Daniel continues to passionately explore the intersection of technology and storytelling. His innovative spirit and dedication to powerful narratives now fuel his journey as an independent filmmaker, creative director and technologist.


In August 2021, after two decades of creative and technical leadership at HALON and its new parent company NEP Group, Daniel participated in a successful exit, marking a significant milestone in his professional career. This achievement reflects his remarkable leadership, vision, and ability to build and guide valuable organizations to the forefront of their industries.
