Description

Insert Credit is the story of the strained relationship David had with his father, his father’s abrupt death, and a life of suppressing that experience. Created as a form of catharsis, it combines odd humour and a love of video games with a topic that is deeply personal and painful.

Awards:

Gerry Brunet Memorial Award, Vancouver Queer Film Festival

Director's Bio

Born and raised in California’s Bay Area, David moved to Vancouver to study animation at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and has since then fallen in love with the city. Despite having lived in Canada for years now, he still doesn’t understand the metric system and continues to say “soda” instead of “pop.” Insert Credit has received the Gerry Brunet Memorial award from the Vancouver Queer Film Festival.
