THE TEAM

Bruce Alcock : Director
Born in Newfoundland, Bruce Alcock studied the tuba and comparative literature before moving to Barcelona, where he began learning about animation with animator Dirk van de Vondel. Returning to Canada, he founded Cuppa Coffee Animation in Toronto. He then moved to Chicago, where he continued directing commercials with his next production company, Tricky Pictures, for five years. Later he settled in Vancouver, where he founded the production company Global Mechanic. As well as his commercial work featuring a multiplicity of techniques, Alcock makes internationally outstanding personal films: Wrong Number Phone Message (2003), At the Quinte Hotel (2005) and Vive la Rose (2008), the last being his first partnership with the NFB.
