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

"Insectopia" is an experimental micro short I made using footage shot in a college washroom of a dead fly on the floor. I liked the symmetry and patterns of the tiles that framed the room and the fly itself. The phone tended to struggle with focus on the fly, but I liked the effect that produced. The narrative was written and recorded afterwards and asks people what they would do if they came back in a future existence as an insect. Would they be cool with that? What would they do as a bug? What comes after bug life?
