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 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
Recent Film Things
I wanted to call this "A Summary of Every Film-Related Thing Happening in My Life in the Last Six Months" because that's a more descriptive and enticing title, but it's a bit long. 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

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
How I Edit Videos

You can't be listening to music while you edit, you can't have a tv show on … Continue reading How I Edit Videos
From the End
Things are precarious right now. I am writing this from the other end of a pandemic. Or maybe from the middle. Or even the beginning. I guess we'll see, won't we? For a while now (since this post, really) I've stayed mostly at home, cooped up with my family while we avoided the world. I'm … Continue reading From the End
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
