About

Robert J. Brodey is a writer, photographer, and animation production specialist based in Toronto, Canada.

With seventeen years experience as an international travel writer/photographer, he has been published in numerous national and international publications, including The Houston Chronicle, Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, Decanter, Travel Week, Outpost Magazine, Canadian Interiors, Adrenaline Factor Magazine, Exclaim!, Now Magazine, Tico Times, Costa Rica’s premier architecture magazine, Su Casa, Decanter Magazine, and the British fiction series, Raconteur.

His animation credits include Production Manager for Two Presidents Productions on the 2008 Gemini award winning children’s series Will and Dewitt (Cookie Jar Entertainment). He cut his teeth in the animation business working at Calibre Digital Pictures, before being hired as the Production Coordinator then Unit Publicist on the stop-motion series, What It’s Like Being Alone.

No matter the project, what excites him most is the process of cross-pollination and finding the linkages between people, ideas, and skill sets — whether it’s interviewing and photographing at-risk youth in Bolivia, video editing for Street Kids International, or developing television and feature film pitch packages for theskonkworks inc.

Robert serves an international clientele, offering premier specialty services, including copy writing and editing, television and feature film scriptwriting, as well as travel, corporate, special events, and art photography.  This year, he began contributing photography to iStockphoto.

He is a member of The Canadian Association of Journalists and the Professional Writers Association of Canada. He is also a proud member of PEN Canada, which is committed to defending the freedom of opinion and its peaceful expression.

In 2010, he joined the Film Coop, a collective of talented Toronto artists collaborating on short films.

His latest feature on barefoot running around Lake Titicaca, Bolivia, can be found in issue 84 of Outpost Magazine (Winter 2011).

For the past 8 years, Robert has been gathering and posting articles from the press that illuminate and elevate the art of living. Feel the hope @ www.humanspirit.ca.
