About the director
Simon Ruscinski is a Toronto-based filmmaker. His fictional and non-fictional works currently operate as filmic time capsules; formally and thematically striving to make the pain of everyday life serve some higher purpose. His short film Urban Planning won Best Screenplay and the People’s Choice Award at the Future of Film Showcase 2020 and is currently streaming on CBC Gem. Inspired by the works of Don Hertzfeldt, Peter Greenaway, and Jonas Mekas, he hopes to continue exploring the modern world with a sense of humour. Ruscinski is a graduate of York University’s BFA in Film Production.
