I just finished directing the film Freddy at my alma mater Vancouver Film School. The story is about the last fish on earth and the characters who get the chance to eat it.

Thanks again for letting me be a part of your Canadian vision, eh? Then, let me tell you about those sets! They were full of imagination and creativity. You can definitely see all of the love and care that the art department put into every last detail. The cast was absolutely wonderful to work with. Jovanna Burke and Jason Therrien truly fit the roles of mom and dad […]
