I had the good fortune of being commissioned to make a new work through SAW Video in partnership with library and archives Canada in 2009. The group show, Public Domain, toured internationally.

Here’s the film I created, an experimental documentary, Beyond the Pale, created with found footage and images.

Here is my short piece about the work from the publication created by SAW Video: Public Domain: Beyond the Pale essay.

Two 4 One has received another grant! We’re getting closer to our maximum budget goal of $250,000 with the recent announcement that Maureen and Two 4 One are the 2013 recipients of the Jim Murphy Filmmakers Bursary. I’m touched and honoured by this award. So far, Two 4 One has confirmed funding from Telefilm Canada, Technicolor and the Jim Murphy Bursary. We are also participating in the NSI’s Features First Program until the fall of 2013.

Read about it on the NSI Website and Playback magazine.

A very special thanks goes out to Jim’s friends and colleagues who created the fund in his name.

Here’s a photo of Jim Murphy, (1947-2007).

For the last three years, the UVic Writing Department offers an innovative class for screenwriters. Everyone takes part in the production of one student or alumni written short. It’s a fantastic educational experience. This year’s production, ‘Til Death, is written by UVic alum, Ryan Bright,  directed by UVic Grad Student, Connor Gaston, and Exec Produced by yours truly. We’re so proud of this production that we feel it needs to travel to film festivals. This Indiegogo campaign will help with the sound mix, visual effects, general polish and festival distribution plan. Please help if you can. Even a dollar will do! Watch the trailer and see how fantastic these young actors are. They deserve exposure! Watch the behind the scenes doc below.
