Andrew Nisker
FOUNDER - BFA(Hon.) York University.
Hi, my name is Andrew Nisker, and I make films to inspire people to take action and revolutionize the way we treat the environment and ourselves.
My mentor, the late Bob Hunter (Co-Founder of Greenpeace), said that “The revolution starts at home.”
Taking Bob’s words to heart, I founded Take Action Films and set out to make films that could help make environmentalism more accessible. Over the last ten years I’ve written, directed, and produced almost a dozen feature documentaries with a focus on social-environmental issues.
I’ve made a bunch of appearances in the media to share the message, featured on CBC News, MTV, and in pieces by The Atlantic, Now Magazine, POV Magazine, The Beam, Samaritan Magazine, and The Hollywood Reporter. In 2014, I was even lucky enough to get invited to hold my own TEDx Talk at the University of Toronto to share my efforts in “making the invisible visible.”
Iain robinson
CREATIVE PRODUCER - BFA(Hon.) Toronto Metropolitan University.
Iain is an honors graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University where his focus in film school was on cinematography and motion graphic design.
He has always been a total nerd when it comes to emerging media formats, camera theory, motion graphics, editing techniques, and basically anything to do with digital filmmaking.
Over the last 25 years Iain has filmed and edited hundreds of projects around the world including feature documentaries, music videos, commercials, and animations.
He has worked with Andrew for over 10 years shooting all of his movies, creating motion graphics and managing post production workflow.
Above all, Iain loves the challenge of filming in crazy environments. From the tops of mountains, dense jungle, deserts and even the bottom of oceans, his keen eye as a DOP has earned him recognition from the Canadian Society of Cinematographers, Technicolour Canada and William F. White.
