“NUN’S VACATION” UPDATE
I hope you like official information because I have a whole heap of it for you today! THE NUN’S VACATION, wherein I will be making my on-stage debut in Toronto, will open March 23rd and run until April 8th at The Toronto Free Gallery (1277 Bloor Street West – near Landsdowne subway station). See below:

The play features myself, 2011 Dora Award winner Sandy Duarte and Stephen Chambers, a fellow cast-mate from THE CORRIDOR, which will serendipitously be in theatres and On Demand all across North America on March 30th (click here for more info on IFC’s release of THE CORRIDOR). The play is being directed by Jack Grinhaus, and is written by Tom Walmsley.

HOW DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD AND STILL GET LAID?

Doghouse Riley Productions (founded by Duarte & Chambers) recently relaunched their website DHRProductions.com where you can find all the info you could ever want, like where you can purchase tickets right now. So go check that out, yo.

I’ve got a very good feeling about this production, so if you’re in Toronto from late March to early April, I really hope you’ll consider taking in this dirty, filthy, hilarious, and somehow oddly touching journey of THE NUN’S VACATION.

PS. I also designed the poster for THE NUN’S VACATION. You like?

FILM VS. DIGITAL

FILM VS. DIGITAL


You may or may not know, but there is a war being waged at this very moment. The two sides, battling over the future of filmmaking, arguing which is better: film or digital.

There’s been a whole heap of articles written for each argument, but recently, Karim Hussain , the director of photography for HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN and the upcoming film,  ANTIVIRAL (playing at this year’s Cannes Film Festival), had this to say…

Here’s the LA weekly article on the death of film and Christopher Nolan’s plea to preserve 35mm ( http://www.laweekly.com/2012-04-12/film-tv/35-mm-film-digital-Hollywood/ ). I’d happily agree with him, if it wasn’t for the fact that labs and cinemas...

T.O. MONOLOGUE SLAM

T.O. MONOLOGUE SLAM


On Sunday, April 29th, I’ll be hopping up on the stage of Trane Studio for the upcoming edition of The Toronto Monologue Slam ( www.TOSlam.com ) where a selection of Torontonian thespians take to the stage to perform a monologue and be judged by a panel of industry professionals. At the end of the night, a champion is crowned.

If there’s anything I love, it’s being judged.

I will be performing a piece from a work in progress by Kristin Slaney .

If you’re anything like me, then this sounds like one hell of a fun time, so on Sunday, April 29th, skip evening mass and come on out to Trane Studio at 964 Bathurst Street at 8:00pm and take in some staged soul bearing.

You dig?

THE CORRIDOR IN THE CORRIDOR

THE CORRIDOR IN THE CORRIDOR


Foreword: the following entry is meant to be read as a companion piece to THE CORRIDOR and contains a few mild-spoilers. 

During the process of taking  THE CORRIDOR  around to film festivals and showing it to audiences, I learned very early on that my favourite part of the Q&A session was always when the conversation would inevitably turn to “So, what exactly  is ‘the corridor’?”

We, the cast, along with our director Evan Kelly , and our writer Josh MacDonald were fortunate enough to have five days of rehearsals before we started shooting THE CORRIDOR. A lot of questions were answered, and a lot of the relationships were established. One afternoon though, Evan asked us all ...
