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 was wandering down at the beach in Vancouver when I began to take in all these stone figures that had been left there by an unseen artist. I wandered around grabbing a sequence of footage, that I later modified during the edit to create a water effect. I left the film silent except for music until the end credits, so we can wander together, seeing all that is to be seen when we quietly look!
