Life has been going pretty well lately. Over the weekend, I had the privilege of attending a screening of a student film I shot back in 2023. It was the first role I booked through my new Toronto agent, and I'm actually satisfied with my performance in it. I'm still not used to watching myself … Continue reading The Payoff of Acting Improvement
The Impact of the Canadian Film Centre

Violet the Short Film
I sit near the front of the theatre, watching as the credits of the fourth film of the night finish and the screen fades to black. With every film we've seen, my nerves have increased. I've felt my anxiety about this night, Showcase night, building for weeks now. My short film, Violet, was created as … Continue reading Violet the Short Film

Looking back at the last six months, I am ridiculously proud of myself. The conservatory was a challenge which helped me grow … Continue reading I Finished An Acting Conservatory

I Got Into An Acting Conservatory
Hello. It's been a while. I should probably update you and write about how completely my life has changed in a very short amount of time. I'll keep this as short as I can, but who are we kidding. I'm wordy. Back in May, I happened across an Instagram post on the CFC's (Canadian Film … Continue reading I Got Into An Acting Conservatory
I forgot to post this last week
I'm a precarious writer and these are precarious times. September's just around the corner and although I barely notice the seasons passing anymore, this turn of season does come with some decisions that I need to make. I love my job. Even when I get groan-worthy assignments, I feel so lucky to have it. The … Continue reading I forgot to post this last week
The New Job
I'm sorry I haven't written in a minute, but as you can probably guess from the title, I've been occupied. In January, I was lucky enough to start a new job. My first permanent full-time job, and in the middle of a recession no less (although, it seems there's a recession every year, so perhaps … Continue reading The New Job
