Mike Maryniuk was born in Winnipeg but raised in the rural back country of Manitoba. A completely self-taught film virtuoso, his style is an inventive hybrid of Michel Gondry, Caroline Leaf and Les Blank. Maryniuk started making hand-processed black and white 16mm films after finding some 1920s movie posters while working on the demolition of a shoe store. Since then, his films have screened at Sundance, SXSW, NY Views from the Avant Garde, TIFF, and around the globe.
