My core training in acting is from the Stella Adler Studio in New York. I love acting and filmmaking and Vancouver where I now live is a beautiful place to make films. I am interested in the dramas, delights, passions and heartbreaks that take place in everyday interactions (or lack thereof) between ordinary people. Most of my films have dealt with human-scale issues such as tough choices, love, dreams, hope and finding meaning and fun in life. I love an underdog story! My motto is don't let anything get in the way of telling a story that might uplift someone - film it with your smartphone if that's what you have, but get it done and share it with the world.
I wrote this film for an ensemble cast of seniors I really enjoy working with. The film is a lighthearted look at love, loss and the effect we have on each other, with a comedic twist at the end. The film was conceived and executed as as single-take moving shot from beginning to end. Our actors did a wonderful job of making this possible!
