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
100 Spoiler-Free One-Liner Movie Reviews
In September, I had the good fortune of attending the Toronto International Film Festival and watched a total of 36 movies, 1 bunch of short films, and the first three episodes of a tv show, averaging 3.88 screenings per day. A few weeks later, I attended ImagineNATIVE film festival and managed 2 screenings per day. … Continue reading 100 Spoiler-Free One-Liner Movie Reviews
Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
I don't review books, tv shows, or films anymore because I hate saying bad things about them, but I still want to share some great finds. So, after a year which has allowed me to consume more art than usual, I have come up with a list of my favourites. Books: I did not read … Continue reading Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
Streaming Instead of Screaming
In my last post, I mentioned that there were two people in the world whose loss I didn't think I could handle. Now one of them has COVID. Amy was over for my birthday the week before she tested positive, so I had to quarantine and got tested for the fifth time. Negative. The tests … Continue reading Streaming Instead of Screaming
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
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
An Acting Summary of 2017
There were good times, there were bad times (especially in the USA, stay safe American friends). It was a bit of a crazy year. Personally, it was my year off to pursue my acting dreams, which was a far more successful pursuit than I thought it would be. In a month, it will have been … Continue reading An Acting Summary of 2017
Valerie the Film
Not too long ago I was cast in a film. It was pretty cool. I haven't entirely finished filming my parts but I'm mostly done, and I'm excited to share it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdq9L1v4HdY If you're interested in watching the finished film, click here for the Indiegogo link.
Deadpool
Mild spoilers. Nothing serious. I have been looking forward to this film for a long time (though not as long as Ryan Reynolds has). I love Deadpool. He was my introduction to comic books and he's just awesome. His humour, creativity, mercenary skills, R-rating, general quirkiness, and deep seated self-hatred all come together to create the … Continue reading Deadpool
The Big Short
Disclaimer: The movie I just saw had a lot of swearing in it, so you can rest assured this post will, too. Well I'm scared to shit. I'm twenty-one years old. I still haven't completed my university degree. My subject of study is freakin' Creative Writing. I know fuck-all about Wall Street. So keep that … Continue reading The Big Short
