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 pondering the fate of really old people who must - all over the world - just expire here and there, anonymously. Who sees them fall? Who tries to help? What was their story? What did they leave unfinished? With those cheery thoughts in mind, I wrote a little poem that tried to shed a bit of light on lives unlived and the hope that we can do better, and I blended it with some street art I had filmed. A minute of reflection that's actually intended to be a bit uplifting despite the gloomy topic!
