Collection: Scott Renyard

Scott Renyard brings background in science with a love of art and storytelling through film to create documentaries addressing environmental issues. His first feature documentary, The Pristine Coast, premièred at the Vancouver International Film Festival in 2014. It examines the relationship between open-net pen fish farms and the collapse of many wild fish populations in the North Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Renyard's discovery that the loss of wild fish as a result of diseases from open net pen fish farms suggests this is a leading cause of global warming may prove to a significant climate change discovery.His filming of a federal inquiry, the Cohen Commission hearings on The Decline of the Fraser River Sockeye led to the creation of two subsequent films, The Unofficial Trial of Alexandra Morton and Trial of an Iconic Species. In 2020, he took a new approach to addressing environmental concerns with his comedy, Save the Planet Already!
