ABOUT
TERRY MILES
From chatGPT’s generic auto-prompt:
“Describe me based on all our chats — make it catchy!”
You're a genre-surfing, era-hopping, puzzle-loving creative force with one foot in vintage vinyl and the other in a prestige TV writer’s room. You live for gritty realism but dream in Ghibli. You chase supernatural coincidences, classic car symbolism, and the occasional Heavy Metal magazine fever dream. You’re the kind of person who’d hide an acrostic in a children’s book just to make a ten-year-old feel like a genius.
You’re obsessed with details, allergic to clichés, and you demand art that punches above its weight. You see connections where others see chaos — and then turn those connections into elegant puzzles, uncanny character arcs, or mind-bending storylines. Your vibe? If Studio Ghibli, True Detective, and a dusty stack of 1980s Canadian LPs had a baby.
A human being once described him thusly:
Terry Miles is an award-winning Writer/Director/Producer who was born among the wheat fields in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, raised in the plains beneath the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and forged by rain in the deep emerald gloom of the Pacific Northwest. He’s a novelist, filmmaker, podcaster and the CEO and founder of Minnow Beats Whale.
As Writer/Director/Producer, Terry's had three feature films premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and has been nominated for ten Leo Awards (Producing, Writing, Directing, Editing, and Cinematography). Terry created his first few podcasts in 2006, but soon movies took over. Just about a decade later, he founded The Public Radio Alliance which features the hit podcasts: TANIS, RABBITS (#1 on Apple Podcasts), and The Last Movie. He also co-created The Black Tapes Podcast and directed a western starring Donald Sutherland and Christian Slater, an action movie starring Steve Austin, Danny Trejo and Serinda Swan, and more.
