Artist Biographies
Nathan Fleet is an award winning filmmaker and composer and is the director of the Hamilton Film Festival.
Annette Gerard – I graduated from the Illustration program at Sheridan College some time ago, then worked in advertising as graphic designer, art director and creative director. I have been doing photography since I was 9 years old, but have recently gone professional. I have been dabbling with video with my DSLR camera and this is my first wildlife movie.
Sadko Hadzihasanovic studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo, Bosnia, earned MFA at the University of Belgrade, Yugoslavia (1984) and then left war-torn Sarajevo for Canada in 1993.
Since his arrival in Canada he has participated in over hundred exhibitions in public galleries and artist-run centres across Canada and in the former Yugoslavia. He is the recipient of visual arts grants from the Toronto Art Council, the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts. His prints were included in Summer show 2015 at International Print Center New York.
Adrian J. Miller is a new media storyteller from Hamilton, Ontario. He is a founding member of Humble Roots Media and pursues passionately the creation of engaging visuals.
Adrian has experience working for some of Canada’s biggest artists and documentarians. He is a graduate of Journalism and Television Broadcasting from both Sheridan and Mohawk College.
Shane Pennells is a local filmmaker and writer. He is the program co-ordinator of Reel Streetz Media Camp, run out of the Factory Media Centre.
With a grounding in photocollage and painting, Harold Sikkema’s current interest is in panoramic imagery, and how spaces and networks can mediate collective experiences of photography. He is preoccupied with patterns and processes, as manifested in geology and the forces of deep time. He pays attention to the fragility of the everyday.
John Roxburgh Smith is a Hamilton-based musician (with Young Rival), director, and visual artist working in the fields of digital video, interactive installation, and mixed-media 2D work.
Young Rival’s “Two Reasons,” directed by Smith as a collaboration with Michigan-based face painting artist James Kuhn, achieved notable viral success and was shortlisted for the inaugural Prism Prize Awards. As well, the video landed coverage in the likes of Huffington Post, Exclaim!, Mashable, and was a top annual news story of CBC Hamilton.
