He's not a real cop, but he plays one on TV. Sort of.

Director Biography - Robert David Duncan

My core training in acting is from the Stella Adler Studio in New York. I love acting and filmmaking and Vancouver where I now live is a beautiful place to make films. I am interested in the dramas, delights, passions and heartbreaks that take place in everyday interactions (or lack thereof) between ordinary people. Most of my films have dealt with human-scale issues such as tough choices, love, dreams, hope and finding meaning and fun in life. I love an underdog story! My motto is don't let anything get in the way of telling a story that might uplift someone - film it with your smartphone if that's what you have, but get it done and share it with the world.

Director Statement

I was fondly remembering all the police shows I loved as a kid, including the Blue Knight, Police Story and others, and was thinking about how much fun it would be to act in one, with all the cliched cop language and stuff. My mind got working on this, and I suddenly thought "Hey, what about an out-of-work actor who fantasizes about being one of those 70s TV cops and solves really banal little crimes in his neighborhood?" I wanted something I could shoot myself whenever the mood struck, so I started this series, filming the first set of episodes in which Officer Bob expounds on good policing, good community relations and good order while getting to the bottom of the case of the fallen trees and other urgent matters on his beat.
