Justin Schein is a veteran filmmaker who has worked with scores of documentary subjects, but nothing could prepare him for an aging yippee named Mayer Vishner. Schein thought he was making a documentary about Vishner’s life. Vishner had a different idea, and it shook Schein to his core and tested his mettle as a friend, filmmaker and human being. Schein's 2015 film, "Left On Purpose," follows the colorful, unforgettable Vishner through a minefield of emotional and ethical issues. This is a public episode.

Justin Schein faces an unthinkable dilemma in "Left on Purpose."

Justin Schein is the kind of documentary filmmaker that most of us aspire to be. He is a thoughtful, sensitive, and articulate technician dedicated to his craft. And his latest film, Left on Purpose is the kind of intelligent, compassion, and in the end, impossible to forget, film that we aspire to make. I was honoured and proud to have a shared conversation with Justin on the eve of the world wide release of his film. It’s an engaging, heartfelt look at not only what it means to live a documentary life, but just how one tackles the ethical issues that a film like Left on Purpose poses.
