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

Some very cool festivals are encouraging 15-second films, and I confess I wanted to give the form a try. This one is drawn from some footage I shot of a sinking sailboat, and I wanted to find a way to juxtapose the rather dire imagery with a humorous theme. I hope you enjoy it!
