 Bill
Robertson - Director/Writer
Bill
Robertson started writing screenplays at the age of twenty
when he realized that he was not suited to a career in any
of the courses he was taking at the University of Toronto.
After graduating with a degree in Economics, Bill promptly
enrolled in the Masters in Fine Art (Film) programme at York
University where he wrote, produced and directed the short
film TAT and produced the low-budget feature thriller DEAR
JOHN with classmate Cathy Ord. Both films premiered at the
Montreal International Film Festival.
Upon graduating from York, Bill wrote, produced and directed
his first feature, the critically acclaimed audience favourite
THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO MY DEATH. He also co-edited the film,
co-wrote the music and performed on the soundtrack. THE EVENTS
played across Canada (including a three-month run in Toronto),
and at festivals around the world. It was awarded the Best
Canadian Screenplay Award at the Vancouver International Film
Festival.
