Al Guest

Al Guest is a Canadian animation producer.

He was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and started his career there when he dropped out of the University of Manitoba to pursue a career in films. A writer and fine artist, he has exhibited his paintings at many galleries in Winnipeg and Toronto, Ontario. He is most known for his film work - especially animation - which he has written, produced, and directed in 10 studios on three continents.

Toronto

In Toronto he established both an animation studio and a live action production company. In the early 1960s Guest was called on by Sydney Banks, legendary Canadian broadcast and film pioneer, to help create the Directors Guild of Canada (DGC). As related by Banks, the founding President, Guest was talked into becoming its first unelected secretary and persuaded to contribute the distinctive "director's chair" logo still in use by the DGC.
