A Creative Collaboration
From Hollywood classics to visionary new worlds, the creative minds behind Beyond the River have dedicated their lives to the art of cinematic storytelling.
Daniel St. Pierre is an award-nominated director, visual innovator, and creative leader behind some of the most iconic animated films of all time — including Tarzan, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid. With decades of experience at Disney, DreamWorks, and beyond, his work has shaped how stories are told across generations.
Mark Sage, the film’s producer and screenwriter, brings a unique blend of military-honed leadership and creative vision. A decorated project management expert turned filmmaker, Mark bridges the worlds of story, logistics, and production — crafting heartfelt narratives and coordinating the teams that bring them to life.
