Directors Biography:
James Muir
James Muir is an artist, photographer, teacher and now a filmmaker with a passion for telling unique New Zealand stories. River Dog is his second short documentary film and was made with fellow filmmaker Oscar Daniel Hunter. James has been painting and illustrating for more than 13 years having had exhibitions throughout New Zealand since 1997. Whilst attending Massey Fine Art School James sought the amalgamation of science and art to tell stories that could affect the way in which we care for the natural world. Having completed a degree in Zoology, a diploma in teaching and a Masters in Natural History Filmmaking, James continues to seek better ways in which emotive and empathetic connections can be cemented between art and the audience. Having found this in the medium of film, he hopes to continue his career as an artist provoking thought and promoting change. His first short film was ‘Officially Selected’ for the Reel Earth Environmental Film Festival and River Dog has been ‘Officially Selected’ for Byron bay Film Festival.Ph: 0210534188
