Who are you and what is your profession?
My name is Jon Rawlinson, I'm a filmmaker.
Can you tell us a little about your background and upbringing?
I was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada but grew up mostly in Ottawa and Vancouver.
What inspired you to be a filmmaker?
My father always had cameras when we were growing up. I used to make short videos with my brother. The first ones we made were of us wakeboarding on the rideau river in Manotick, Ontario. I didn't really get filmmaking until my Mother told me about the Vancouver Film School. I took the New Media program in 1998. It was a fantastic program where we learned all aspects of digital creativity; video, web design, graphics, editing, 3d animation. The course was way ahead of its time.
Who are your heroes?
Ron Fricke, David Attenborough, Alastair Fothergill, Sebastian Junger
What story do you want to tell on 10.10.10?
I'd like to do a story on a local environmental charity in Vancouver.
Why is this important to you?
There are so many great charities out there and most of them need help getting the word out.
