Moose Jaw is surprisingly awesome. Everything moves at a much slower pace in Saskatchewan. We dress our sets and buy groceries for the crew. Tom, Jenna, Ashleigh, and the kids arrive in Caronport around nine-thirty despite getting a flat outside Llyodminster. Tomorrow we start shooting this thing. In the meantime, more photos: […]

When I lived in Vancouver, I never even went to the beach. What I loved about the coast were the machines. There’s something romantic about the industry that surrounds […]
Read more "OCEAN OF GRAIN"At a favourite local bar one night, some rock n roll friends asked if I would help them make a video. Tom set up the shots, Evan Pearce did the projections, I just made sure everyone was in sync and hit “play” on the song. It was fun playing with the edit, doing the split-screens with […]
