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

Stanley Park in Vancouver is a great source of "found situations" for me as a filmmaker. I often spot something that inspires me to grab some quick footage, then I craft a narrative to fit the video. The narrative usually relates to a theme I want to explore, in this case the advice we might give our younger selves. The painted faces of these two "rock sharks" one bigger and the other smaller, provided a fun visual frame for the story.
