I am a screenwriter/filmmaker from Vancouver, BC, Canada. My directorial debut, 4 Easy Payments, is the film below. It is a short infomercial parody. I hope you enjoy it. I am currently trying to pull a budget together to direct my next short film.
In the meantime, I'm busy finishing up a feature script for a sci-fi flick whilst critiquing the work of other screenwriters through my website thescriptsource.net
As you can tell by the Vegas WSOP blog, I'm also a poker player. I play all the games, mostly online, but have been taking a hiatus from poker lately as it sometimes just drives me CRAZY!
When I think of more to share, I'll be back. Until then..
Who I'd like to meet: Other screenwriters, filmmakers, poker players and otherwise interesting, open-minded people. Artists of all kinds are especially welcome.
The following letter was sent to the principal's office after the Village school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly.
An old lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind.
Dear Lanark Village Middle School :
God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens luncheon.
I am 84 years old and live at the Lanark County Assisted Home for the Aged.
All of my family has passed away. I am all alone and I want to thank you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio; but before I received one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping.
The other day her radio fell off thenightstand and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears.
She asked if she could listen to mine, and I told her to fuck off.
