Treu has a knack for creating films that everyone can enjoy, without feeling that their intelligence is being insulted, their time wasted, or their sense of human decency assaulted. Much of Treu's work has been directing the most challenging genre in Hollywood: family films and programming for young people.

As a keynote speaker he presented an address titled 'From BYU to Hollywood: Experiences of an LDS Feature Filmmaker.' In November 2001, Treu was a featured guest at the 1st International Young LDS Film Festival in Provo. After leaving Disney, Blair directed dozens of award-winning short films.' Treu's work at this time included industrial video, such as a project for Rocky Mountain Helicopters, based in Provo. According to the university's theater department alumni magazine, Audience, Treu 'then went to work for the late Frank Wells, president of The Walt Disney Company. While at BYU, Treu won multiple Final Cut awards at the university's prestigious student film festival. Treu graduated from Brigham Young University in 1985 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in theater.

Television Series Directed by Blair Treu: 1.Feature-length Films Directed by Blair Treu: Well, 'properly' has a pretty loose definition in some cases, as you'll see below. Aided by the Freaky Friday-body switch plot device, the film shows how sisters Alexia and Hayley Wheaton - polar opposites in every way - actually stand to learn a lesson or two on how to treat one another and mature properly. There's some great things, ridiculous things and just plain '90s things happening in Wish Upon A Star and it's just so weird to realize when you rewatch it.

Back in these Wild West Disney days, anything went - and boy, it went.

It's reminiscent of the wild, punkier, weirder and legitimately very-feminist vibes of the teen films of the mid-'90s. Wish Upon A Star was one of the last films shown on the Disney Channel before the original films we've come to know and love started airing. and yet there was something so seriously afoot in this film it's now very weird to watch. This film is actually really weird and ridiculous!' Such is the case of Wish Upon A Star, featuring a then-unknown Katherine Heigl and Danielle Harris (aka Debbie Thornberry). Sometimes, during a nostalgia-filled marathon-sesh, you find yourself watching one of these films when it suddenly dawns on you: 'Oh my god. There's nothing quite like revisiting the classic films of your childhood.
