David B. Dueck, of Winnipeg, is currently executive director of the nonprofit Mennonite Media Society, which makes and distributes Mennonite films. While teaching in the Collegiate division of the University of Winnipeg, he and his wife Toni developed the Dueck Film Productions, Ltd., company. His films have won awards in Chicago, Ohio and Toronto as well as the Angel award at the Dove Awards in Hollywood. Although he has produced dramatic films and commercials, David says it is documentary films that excite him. “They are real!” David was baptized in the Boissevain Mennonite Brethren Church in Manitoba and now attends the North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church in Winnipeg. The essay published here is part of a manuscript he is developing for his children that will chronicle his life and work with film. www.mennonitemediasociety.com
