About me:
Here's the bio:
Film and television writer, editor, director and producer. Documentaries include:
The New Light Experience of Henry Alline (Vision TV, 2000)
notes from underground (CBC, 2001)
A Nite at the Opera (CBC, 2002)
Stanton T. Friedman is Real (Space, Bravo, 2002)
Denise Djokic: Seven Days Seven Nights (Bravo, 2003)
Do You Believe in Majic? (Space, 2004)
Aztec: 1948 (independent, 2004)
Fields of Fear (Space, 2006)
Best Evidence (Space, TVNZ, 2007)
Synchronicity (Bravo, currently in production)
I produced, wrote and directed two seasons of The Classical Now performing arts series, Bravo, 2003 and 2004. I also produced and adapted the 2000 drama special Caesar for Bravo, and produced the 2001 documentary Soul Searching for the Blues for Vision TV.
I'm a past Treasurer (2000 - 2002) and President (2003 - 2005) of the Nova Scotia Film & Television Producer's Association, and a former member of the Film Advisory Committee for the Province of Nova Scotia. I served as a consultant on the film and television industry for the governments of Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as Salter Street Films. I'm curently a member of the Board of Directors for the Motion Picture Industry Association of Nova Scotia.
In a past life as a musician, I co-founded Tall Poppies (1991 - 1994) and Julia's Rain (1994 - 1998); in my present life as a musician, I'm currently writing and arranging new songs for the first time in a decade, for a solo album tentatively called "Semaphore" which I'll be recording this fall.
I'm a member of the Nova Scotia Barrister's Society and the Society of Authors, Composers & Publishers.
I'm the Jack Kerouac of the paranormal.
I'm a 19th century Romantic stuck in a cold-hearted modern world.
Finally, I'm a Jedi Master named Obi-Paul, although I often have a... strained relationship with the Jedi Council, because I don't always do things the Jedi way.

Who I'd like to meet:
Jacques Vallee, Tony Blair, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Spielberg, Ewan MacGregor, Neil Armstrong
