  • Reabertura

    A city reopens during a pandemic. Filmed in Coimbra during the COVID-19 pandemic, Reabertura captures the city in the process of reopening, as businesses sanitize and reorganize in preparation for the new “normal”, pointing to an unsettlingly capitalistic adaptation of reality.

  • Mrs. Deborah Corde

    A spam email tells the story of a colonial couple and their search for someone to claim their millions.

  • HOPE

    Hope looks at the global push back on the civil liberties of the LGBTQ community. A kaleidoscope of anti-gay protests captured and posted on the internet almost always erupt into violence. From the chaos comes hope which is the lasting message of the film and the pursuit for a better future.

  • Broken Relationship

    Broken Relationship moves through a kaleidoscope of colour and pixels to fragments of embraced bodies. Using glitched video footage from classic porn, the broken and distorted imagery speaks to the difficulty that the LBGTQ youth encounter when trying to navigate through their sexuality and relationships. Easy access to pornography means that many young people are learning these important life lessons through a distorted lens. This is especially true of the LGBTQ community where access to information is difficult to acquire from their family, teachers or even friends. The glitched video images mimic the broken messages that much of the porn…

  • Learning to Eat Soup

    Last summer, during a family vacation in the countryside, my daughter mistook the flowers for butterflies, expecting them to fly away. When we returned this year, she seemed to have forgotten that confusion and understood the difference quite well. So, I tried to use my camera to see things how she had once seen them. But, of course, the more I used my camera to see things differently, the further removed I became from childhood, nature, and all things romantic. The title comes from an essay by Edward Hoagland.

  • 10th Frame

    Memories are a confluence of the personal and the collective, the secret and the shared. Shaped by time and space, memories alter perceptions of what is remembered as well as what is forgotten. Pope John Paul II arrived at the Vancouver International Airport on Sept. 18, 1984. Days before his arrival, Transport Canada urged people to stay away, stating that there would be “absolutely no opportunity” to view Pope Paul at the airport. A local reporter at the time remarked that “You’d take 10 frames and you’d never get him, and then suddenly his face would appear between the two…

  • Landing Sites

    There are places that we seek, and there are places that find us. One can never know for sure which comes first; the seeking or the finding. Often the unexpected moment occurs, the unforeseen discovery. Landing Sites: Truck on a house – Car drifting on a flooded plain – Signs flying over a lake – A super storm engulfs a building – Ghost train – Lightening strikes a plywood structure – Rail yard secured by a fire fighter – Electrical discharge in central city – Outskirts of prairie dog town. Landing Sites in order of appearance: House on a truck…

  • Prairie Grizzly’s Peneplain

    “Prairie Grizzly’s Peneplain” is a meditation on various natural and manufactured landscapes in southern Saskatchewan. This region is part of an ancient Precambrian seabed rebounding from the last Ice Age which once had a dynamic range of wildlife, plants, and wetlands supporting various ancient cultures that flourished here for millennia. Up until the late 1800‘s the Prairie Grizzly thrived on the Canadian Prairies. The bears that managed to migrate further west to the Rocky Mountains faced a difficult transition, although they have managed to survive in their new homes. Along with the plains buffalo, the have become a presence in…
