Lee and Doug are full biological 'blood' brothers, but they did not grow up together. They only connected in 1999. This is their story.
Their parents, Mark and Gail, were high school sweethearts and got pregnant with Doug in 1971 when they were too young to give him the childhood they thought he deserved. So they made the very difficult decision of giving him up for adoption. Doug was adopted into the loving home of a family in Lethbridge, Alberta. His family never hid the fact that he was adopted and gave him the choice to find his biological family if he wished.
Lee was born in 1979 and was raised with his sister Kristel, born in 1981. They were raised by their biological parents in Calgary unaware of the existence of their older brother Doug. As Lee and Kristel are the same age apart as their parents (two years), Mark and Gail made the decision to tell them about their brother when they were the same age as when they had to give Doug up for adoption. They hoped this would help them to better understand the choices they had to make. However, Doug found them first, just a few months before they had the chance. When the brothers met, they connected immediately; Doug was working for an advertising agency, something Lee was going to go to school for; and both shared a passion for film making. They wrote '9' and started on a path that lead them to what is BloodBros Productions today.
Lee was born and raised in Calgary and began as a graphic artist and progressed into all forms of media. He has been in the video industry for over 25 years and has created many short films, commercials, corporate and training videos. From conception to completion, his knowledge of video covers all aspects; from writing the script to editing the final cut. 'No idea is ever too big and nothing is unattainable' he says. 'Film making is my passion, and anything is possible as long as you have the passion.'
