Born in Ontario, and grew up in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. A town where the pier facing the infinite ocean was, at most, a notable landmark. The town has a population of 491 as of 2016. Several College years in Halifax at NASCAD were spent before washing ashore. After the shelter of an inland coast seemed a safer bet so, decided to reside in Montreal. It’s been over 20 years now, in the snow city with its fever dream summers that ease the forgetting. Today, Tobin appreciates some fresh air in the country even though there might be many frantic fanatics to film elsewhere.
