Karl Raudsepp Hearne is a film director and screenwriter, whose feature directorial debut Touched premiered on the film festival circuit in 2017 before being released theatrically in 2018.[1]

Raised in Montreal and Dublin, Ireland, he studied at McGill University before pursuing a doctorate at Nanjing University.[2] He later returned to Montreal, where he spent a year studying film at Concordia University.[3]

His short film Song, a Chinese ghost story with dialogue predominantly in Mandarin, received the Prix Fasken-Martineau in 2003,[4] and received a Prix Jutra nomination for Best Short Film at the 5th Jutra Awards.[5]

Following his 2007 short film Stuff, he took some time away from film to help a friend start a business, but found that he was wrapped up in that business for much longer than he had planned to be.[1] When he decided to return to film in the mid-2010s, he quickly secured funding from Telefilm Canada to make Touched.[1]

Touched was nominated for the John Dunning Best First Feature Award at the 7th Canadian Screen Awards in 2019.[6]
