Courtesy of Michael Zelniker Canadian filmmaker Michael Zelniker didn’t come up through the traditional documentary ranks. A former actor who appeared in films such as Clint Eastwood’s “Bird” and David Cronenberg’s “Naked Lunch,” Zelniker built his career in fiction before pivoting toward environmental storytelling.
“I’m not from the documentary film world. I had a lovely career as an actor… then I spent some years teaching. But about a month into the pandemic, I learned that the boreal forest was being cut down for toilet paper. And I thought, ‘Oh my God,'” Zelniker says.
