Zack Russell – Director/Producer: Zack was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. He has directed and written for television, and made two award-winning
narrative shorts. His first short film, She Stoops To Conquer, premiered at SXSW and went on to win the 2016 Canadian
Screen Award. His work has been screened at film festivals around the world, including TIFF, SXSW, VIFF, and New Orleans.
Someone Lives Here is his first documentary.
Khaleel Seivwright – Protagonist: In October 2020, a carpenter named Khaleel Seivwright drove to a remote area of a Toronto park to build a small, insulated shelter.
On the front of the shelter, he posted two signs: “Anyone is Welcome.” and the details of a GoFundMe page dedicated to raising money to build more. His idea is simple: to provide unhoused people outside in the winter with tiny, insulated shelter that would keep them safe and warm.
