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.

This film is another in the cluster of films I have made featuring lost or abandoned toys. This one was a sort of plush monkey, who kind of also looks like a bear, who was clinging to a tree near my place. I took a quick bit of footage that unwittingly included a pan around to a dog and its owner walking up the sidewalk, so I worked up a little story around this escaped toy and his plans for a manic Monday!
