DUNCAN MOORE

I've been a storyteller for as long as I've known myself. As a child, I had a well-developed imagination that meant I was never bored. Though I was introduced to many expressive media throughout my early education I continually gravitated toward writing: both creative fiction and essay writing. While in college I allowed myself to be swayed into the "practical career" trap and left the arts behind to become a technologist.

​

I had a rich career in software and data analytics but for the last ten years, a fundamental truth became more and more evident: the only roles I enjoyed and got fulfillment from were the creative ones - the ones in which I was able to craft a story.

​

In the early 2010's we were considering becoming parents. We were also facing the death of a parent and were reflecting on the loss of our own grandparents. An idea that had been rattling around in my head for some time - the need to document and memorialize our stories and those of our older generations - coalesced when I realized that the camera we had could be used as a professional video camera. Almost immediately KnowMe Studios was a foregone conclusion.

​

I began capturing and telling peoples' stories based on the committed belief that everyone's story has value.

I am currently on the teaching staff of the University of Washington's Film and Video Production program of which I am also a graduate.
