ABOUT RADA

Rada Zinchuk, born in 2007, Minsk, Belarus, is a passionate artist whose journey spans multiple creative areas. After immigrating to Canada in 2013, Rada immersed herself in the performing arts, exploring vocals, drama, dance, piano and guitar. However, her artistic path took a distinct turn when she joined the Claude Watson Film Arts Program at Earl Haig Secondary School (Toronto) in 2021.

At Earl Haig, Rada honed her craft by working with other student filmmakers to create numerous short film projects, which were showcased at the school's Suspense, Short & Sweet, Film Arts Challenge and Film Gala festivals. Extending her filmmaking outside of the classroom, she also participated in the TIFF Next Wave 48-Hour Film Challenge, Zoom International Film Festival and the Toronto Youth Shorts Festival. As a dedicated and detail-oriented student filmmaker, Rada strives to communicate impactful stories through screenwriting, directing, cinematography, sound design, and editing.

As of Fall 2025, Rada is studying in the Image Arts: Film (BFA) program at Toronto Metropolitan University, a four-year program that allows her to further develop her craft in a dynamic, professional environment.

Looking ahead, Rada envisions a career that embraces collaboration with like-minded creatives who share her love for art. While continuing to grow as a filmmaker, she remains drawn to other creative pursuits that inform and inspire her work. She aims to keep exploring new narratives, pushing the boundaries of her craft, and creating films that resonate deeply with audiences.
