Andrew Nisker owes his life's inspiration to Bob Geldof and the thousands of others who brought the Live Aid concerts to their living rooms in 1985.

As a witness to how the power of music can help change the world, Nisker knew he wanted to help. Unfortunately, after four years of guitar lessons, nobody wanted his help, so Nisker hung up the “axe” and picked up the camera.

That's when things changed.

As he struggled to establish himself in the feature film world, Nisker refined his skills as director, writer, cameraman and editor. He worked in television and film with some of the most creative minds in show business like Lorne Michaels' company Broadway Video, the creators of Saturday Night Live. After almost two decades in the business, he has utilized what he's learned to create films that inspire environmental awareness.

Bootstrapping it, Nisker made his first environmental documentary Garbage! over a five-year period. Released in 2007, Garbage! has been seen by over two million people internationally and has been translated into six languages. Nisker, who was always uncomfortable in front of the camera, was now called upon to speak about the issues he documented by some of the largest and most powerful corporations in the world like WalMart, ING, McDonalds and Tim Hortons.

Nisker regularly participates in panels and has been a part of programs at DOC Canada, NWA Green Expo for WalMart Home Office, Planet In Focus Film Festival, Northwestern University and has also been a regular jury member for Earth Day Canada's Home Town Heroes.

As an educator, Nisker has held environmental and filmmaking workshops in Canada, Italy and the United States in collaboration with various film festivals and school boards and is currently teaching part time at the OCAD University in downtown Toronto.

He is currently developing two documentaries, environmental phone apps and a fictional film.

When at home he spends the majority of his time playing catch, cooking and skiing with his son Sebastian.
