  • War Game

    In an imagined battle between the United States and the fictional Latin American country of Cubuchilia, an American soldier has control over water resources and news media on both sides of the war. This depressed white soldier profits monetarily by the continuation of the war, and therefore ensures the battle endures through his power over the water and news. Inadvertently, he causes all the soldiers on both sides to perish, and thus the war ends. He then, through his media control, presents himself as the hero of the conflict and the savior of the United States.

  • Froglight

    FROGLIGHT is a film about having faith in the unknown. “…glowing, shimmering, wow – and sentiments to or rather thinking, questioning, wondering… wondering, beautiful.” – Barbara Sternberg (Toronto filmmaker) “A shimmering black-and-white reflection of ineffable and wondrous experience.” – Jim Sinclair (Pacific Cinematheque, Vancouver) Award: Honourable Mention, Ann Arbor Film Festival, 2000. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: In FROGLIGHT, poetic voice-over narration is woven with images and sounds from the natural landscape to engage viewers’ imaginations. As a result of allowing elements to come magically together in the creative process, the film has an intangible sensibility that echoes the experience of trying to…

  • Granular Film – Beirut

    Reminiscence of a trip in Beirut. The sea. the palm trees, the buildings melt when my eyelids began to close. My memories now have a separate life of their own.

  • H2T

    Shot on several types of film (16 mm and Super 8 format), ranging from handmade film emulsion to expired films, H2T takes place in the mighty Hotel2Tango Montreal recording studio. The film is a chemical composition where light meets the effervescence and creativity of the band Land of Kush (Constellation Records) during the making of their latest album, The Big Mango (2013). Filming of the recording session during rehearsals and breaks, the picture is just as ephemeral as the musicians’ movements. H2T reflects on the performative aspect specific to experimental film and musical performance.

  • forwards, backward

    Compiled from unused images of a half-shot and perpetually delayed documentary, this film is an illusory visual and sonic reflection on a stagnant film career. Simultaneously moving forwards and backwards and not at all. Driving 100mph and standing still. One step forwards, two steps back.

  • Mrs. Deborah Corde

    A spam email tells the story of a colonial couple and their search for someone to claim their millions. Using archival footage and the melodrama outlined in an email from a junk inbox, worlds of isolation and desperation collide in an ultra short film that brings to life a tale designed to scam someone.

  • 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.
