It's been a year since I put out my post about applying to the CFC Actors' Conservatory, and now my stats are spiking because applications are open again. Despite the singular like and complete lack of comments, I believe it to be my most popular post. In fact, I've met a few people at recent … Continue reading 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
I Moved To Toronto
It's one thing to be invited to the Canadian Film Centre (CFC), it's another thing to actually go. This is Part 2! Read the first post here: I Got Into An Acting Conservatory. When I was accepted into CFC, I had an apartment, a full-time job, and a chronically anxious chihuahua. Going to Toronto meant … Continue reading I Moved To Toronto
I Got Into An Acting Conservatory

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

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
Recent Film Things

Similar to the quite-long title of a movie I'm in called "Events Transpiring Before, During, And After A High School Basketball Game" … Continue reading Recent Film Things
What I Wore: A Red Carpet Event
Back in November I attended my first feature film premiere for a film I did back in 2017. The film still isn't out yet, but who cares about that when you can see what I wore on the red carpet instead? So on the day of the premiere, I was helping a couple of friends … Continue reading What I Wore: A Red Carpet Event
Production Day 1: Friday the 13th
Super Roommates began filming on Friday the 13th of March. It was amidst a snowstorm, and there was an accident on Deerfoot, so I arrived on set after pretty much all my cast & crew, but our location still wasn't available to us until fifteen minutes after our call time so it wasn't bad. Yet. … Continue reading Production Day 1: Friday the 13th
