Time to Write Again!
My poor blog has been neglected for a few years. And, the last few years? Holy moly. How are you? If I were to summarize, do a “Reader’s Digest” version of the recent years it would look like this: 2018: Wrote short film script: The Rolling Pin 2019: Edited script and it received funding from…

Truly Canadian….
Happy Canada Day ALL!! Joyeuse FETE du Canada! When people ask me where I’m from I have a difficult time answering. Eventually, I say Canada. Born in Vancouver, brought up in Banff and PEI, schooled in London, Ontario, and Quebec City (La Ville de Quebec) (et, oui.. je parle le Francais!), lived in Frederiction, Ottawa,…

Children of God….
Last Sunday afternoon was a sunny, extraordinary Vancouver day. But, I and a large gathering of people spent it in a dark theatre witnessing the play “Children of God”, produced by Urban Ink Productions, with the York Theatre-The Cultch.

“On a First Name Basis”

Many are addressing these issues. And, well… I guess I sort of am. A…

Québec…My Country, Mon Pays
My plans to write about the film “Québec, My Country, Mon Pays” today became heightened after the past weekend’s tragedy at a Québec City mosque. My heart goes out to the people who were practicing a peaceful prayer, their families, and the community, that includes us. I lived in Québec City. J’ai vecu a Québec.…

Demain… Tomorrow… There will be one…
Hope. Commitment. Change. Health. Care. Movement. Not waiting for someone else to solve the problem. That’s what we need. What the whole world needs. Especially, right now when there seems to be small groups of people making decisions that put millions at jeopardy, world wide. The film “Demain” (Tomorrow) is an elixir, a well needed…
