Holy moly, how the time has flown. I haven't had anything to communicate while The Week Thus Far has been on a hiatus, hence the lack of updates.

Well that's about to change!

We're back to work on the seventh season, and it's started with a bang! Take a look at the first sketch of the season.



I wrote, directed, shot and edited this sketch. Ryan Ash did the FX shot and designed the animated Game of Thrones style logo.

Because we had a bit more time before the season began, I was able to do more post-production work. I'm still learning a lot, but I did some audio processing and colour correction. It's a little rough around the edges, but over all I'm very pleased with how this turned out.

Right now I'm knee-deep in editing the Week Thus Far St. Patrick's day special. It will be a full pre-taped episode in the same style as last year's Halloweend special I Know What You Did Last Season. It's an incredibly weird episode and is really taking the show in a new direction. Stay tuned!

The newest sketch I directed and edited for The Week Thus Far is online! Take a look folks.



The season is wrapping up now, so I won't be doing any new ones until the spring. It'll be nice to have a break and recharge the batteries. Also, I'm working on some other projects to get up and running next year. So stay tuned for that!

In other news, The Uniter held a poll for Winnipeg's best... things? In any case, two of my things placed on the list! We didn't win either category, but Space Hotel got second best film, and Comedy Plus Time Equals Tragedy tied for third best theatrical production. So thanks to everyone who voted!

Ok gang, here's a 30 minute short film that serves as The Week Thus Far's Halloween special for 2013.



I shot, directed and edited this over a hectic couple of weeks in October. We went from having no script to showing the finished product to an audience in under 3 weeks. Ryan Ash and Tim Gray put together a great script, and the rest of the gang really turned out some hilarious performances. Ryan did all of the visual effects in the thing, and Craig Ward put together the opening credit sequence.

As insane as the timeline was, this was an incredible learning experience for me. I didn't have time to over think anything, and basically had to improvise the direction of a film. In the future I'd like a bit more time, but I'm incredibly proud of how this thing turned out.

Let me know what you think!

Hey friends! This is a sketch I directed and edited last weekend for this weeks episode of Week Thus Far. Tim Gray wrote and starred in it, and Ryan Ash starred as well. It was a hell of a lot of fun and turned out pretty close to exactly how I imagined it. I'd love it if you gave it a watch!




I also want to remind you that Space Hotel will be playing in the Short Film Competition at Reel Pride Winnipeg on Wednesday, October 16th. There is a juried award as well as an audience choice award, so I would really love it if some people could come out and support the film.

In other Space Hotel news, it is programmed as an Official Online Selection at the Minneapolis Underground Film Festival. The festival is this weekend so it should be available to view streaming on their website. Again, you can vote for it so do me a favour and vote!

Big Space Hotel news as promised! I am happy to announce that Space Hotel will be screened as part of the short film competition at Reel Pride Winnipeg. The screening takes place at the Gas Station Arts Centre on Wednesday, October 16th at 7pm. Tickets are $10 and available at the theatre. Visit http://reelpride.org/ for more information.

We are three episodes in to the current season of Week Thus Far and it is a whole hell of a lot of fun! Check out the newest episode and prepare to laugh. And please, come on out to the King's Head Pub every Monday night at 8pm and be a part of the studio audience.

Starting this season I am a writer on Week Thus Far on ShawTV. I've known a lot of the other writers for a while and I'm pretty darn excited to do something new and different. 

The first episode shoots on Monday, September 9th at the King's Head. You should come check it out. 

I'll have some Space Hotel news very soon, I promise! Just a hint, you'll probably be able to watch it for a short period in October. Keep your eyes peeled.

It is August, and that means the fun is over. 

No more putting on a show and partying every day. Back to working full-time and paying off the debt that resulted from taking time off to put on that show.

I just want to sincerely thank everyone who came to check out Comedy Plus Time Equals Tragedy and Space Hotel. I had a great time seeing audiences react to both of them, and it was nice to feedback. Special thanks to Chantel Marostica, Going Greene and BUNNY for performing at the Space Hotel premiere. You guys really made it a fantastic night.

Hopefully I'll have news regarding Space Hotel playing at film festivals soon. If not, then fuck those festivals. And fuck me. And fuck.
