2018 SAW Resolution Screening
I spent last night hanging out with some fine Ottawa artists for the 2018 instalment of Resolution, a showcase of work by SAW Members from the previous year. It was a great mix of experimental, music videos, docs, and non-traditional narrative. Happy to see death isn’t the same anymore screen again in Ottawa to a new crowd. I also received some positive feedback on the short. Seeing the work definitely

The life of a vehicle driver….
I remember owning and driving a car. There’s freedom in being able to pickup and go when and where you want without having to wait for a schedule. I had an accident in 2015 with my SUV and gave up wheels of my own since it was getting expensive to maintain…. The life of a minimalist, self-imposed, more or less.

2017…. is around the corner….
I set out a few goals on a Facebook screenwriting group I’m a part of… This is a partial list of things to accomplish this year: 1. JumpStart video prep-shoot-post-screening. (in progress — had a chat with the actress for it tonight, she’s stoked, and may even have a location I can scoop!) 2. Two scripts in competition (Nicholl and Austin at least; 2nd Round in Austin — already got
