John Trent

John Trent (1935, London - June 3, 1983, Snelgrove, Ontario, Canada) was a British-born Canadian film director. He directed such films as Homer, Middle Age Crazy, and It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time. Before working in feature films, Trent worked in Canadian television in the 1960s, directing episodes of such popular CBC series as Quentin Durgens, M.P. and Wojeck, based on the career of the controversial Dr. Morton Shulman, then Toronto’s chief coroner. In addition to producing his own films, his company Quadrant Films also produced such fare as Bob Clark's vampire horror film Deathdream. Trent died in a road accident while returning from delivering his son, who was the Ontario Under 16 show-jumping champion, to an event. He was killed by a police car which came around a bend on the wrong side, and hit his compact Cadillac head-on.
