Alan Zweig is a Toronto documentary filmmaker known for often using film to explore his own life. In his 2000 film ''Vinyl'', Zweig explores what drives people to become record collectors. Zweig spends a large portion of the film exploring his own life in regard to record collecting, feeling it has prevented him from fulfilling his dreams of a family. ''I, Curmudgeon'' is a 2004 film about self-declared curmudgeons, himself included, which received a Silver Hugo at the 2005 Chicago International Film Festival. The film was shot on a camcorder, with Zweig using a mirror to record his own experiences. ''Lovable'' is a 2007 film about our preoccupation with finding romantic perfection. In 2009, Zweig moved from autobiographical subject matter to explore the struggle of ex-convicts to lead normal lives in ''A Hard Name'', which received the Genie Award for best documentary. His 2013 film ''When Jews Were Funny'', an exploration of the role of Jewish comedians in North American comedy and humour,〔("TIFF ’13: Zweig remembers the “Funny”" ).
