I do my best to stay off the machines as much as possible when I'm not working. Therefore updates to my site are quite rare. Instead I prefer to occasionally rattle off a summary of activities since my last entry. This time I let nine months lapse without a post. For shame!

Since then, many projects have come through these hands:

  • Viral video coinciding with an international grassroots campaign urging China to open a diplomatic dialogue with Tibet, leading up to the 2008 Summer Olympics in China
  • 6-minute demo for a documentary being produced by the National Film Board of Canada
  • Promotional video for the city of Powell River, BC
  • Feature documentary, shot on Super 16mm, telling 'the legend of the dolphins' in an original, poetic narrative form
  • Story-driven music video for the artist RUMI, shot on the RED One
  • Short Biopic on visual artist David Pirrie
  • Teaching at Tony Papa's film school in Powell River

This may seem like a lot of work, but I've had more down-time than usual, due of course to the recession. 2009 is definitely looking up though, and I'm getting excited about a number of projects on the horizon.
