Official Poster
Most of you know about “The Rock ‘n’ Roll Dreams of Duncan Christopher”, the film on which I was a producer / line producer. It’s a quirky comedy about the brutal underground world of competitive karaoke. We had our award-winning World Premiere at The Method Fest 2010 – a film festival devoted to the craft of acting and breakout performances in independent films. And won Best Okie Feature at the deadCENTER Film Festival in June. And then we were homecoming king at the Tulsa United Film Festival winning both the Audience Award and the Jury Award!
Well now the film is about to make it’s Canadian Premiere and I’m so excited – because I’m Canadian!! We’ll be Edmonton, Alberta on October 2nd screening at the Closing Night Gala at the Edmonton International Film Festival with Jack Roberts, Justin Monroe, and friends and family! YAY!

So I’ve been busy at work directing the short film I wrote called SONNY. Principal photograph was last week – July 18 thru 23. It was an amazing experience. Quite nearly the best week of my life. I love love loved it!
I’ve directed theatre before and I love directing theatre. I love directing actors! But this was my first time directing a narrative film! And I thought I’d love it… I had a feeling that I’d love it… and I’m happy to say that… I WAS RIGHT! I totally love it!!
I’m going to try to post some thoughts that highlight each day of the week in more detail. In the meantime, here’s a few of my favourite set photography photos!

SHORT FILM
Grasping at straws,
trying to fashion a house.
Feeling large and in charge,
but also small, like a mouse.
Wonder what the next
day-hour-minute will bring.
Worry and faith – simultaneous,
this is what a producer’s feeling.
