Bill Zimmerman cut his teeth on carbon arc 35mm projectors back in the early 60s. He is one of the founding members of Fundy Film in which he is currently serving as chair. Fundy Film is the 7th largest group in the Toronto International Film Festival Film Circuit. He is also a founding member of the Acadia Cinema Coop and served as volunteer manager of the Al Whittle Theatre from 2007 through 2010.
