David Secter

David Secter, born in Winnipeg in 1943, studied English at the University of Toronto, where he wrote for The Varsity, the campus newspaper, and shot his first feature film at the age of twenty-two. A second film followed in 1966; as its crew was not unionised, the technicians' union prevented its theatrical release outside Toronto. He then left for New York, where he founded a community that made films collectively, and his career became intermittent. His nephew made a documentary about him in 2005.
