Rupert is an award winning Canadian-British Director, Producer, and Writer.

Rupert is currently developing his first solo feature, The Peace Piano with Producer Ina Fichman (Fire of Love, 2022), a hybrid documentary about transcendental pianist Lubomyr Melnyk.

In 2020 he co-directed and co-wrote Pawsea or: The Melancholy Ruminations of a Solitary French Bulldog, a comedic short which played Riverrun International Film Festival, Flickerfest, and Vienna Shorts amongst others.

In 2021, he co-launched pandemic documentary Tell Me with a collective of international filmmakers, encouraging people to leave their lockdown thoughts on a series of answer machines around the world.
