Rudge from the rear

This is a Rudge Racer. It's a 1935 that somebody rescued from a barn. He paid $200 dollars for it. It's all original save for some wiring that needed replacing. It's one of the original bikes that raced the Isle of Man TT when the race took hours and hours and doing a, "Ton," was a the thing of fantasy.

Dumped

A short film adapted from a friend's short story. One day I'm going to make this myself for no other reason than it needs to be done.

Matsuo Basho
(Japanese Poet, 1644 – November 28, 1694)

Looks like we've got a prodco willing to invest in us. The nitty gritty is being worked out by the lawyers but it looks like we're going to getting all we've asked for and a little bit more by the end of August. Shooting in the late Fall or Early Spring.

Heavy sigh of relief from me.

I studied screenwriting under Alan DiFiore (The David Milgard Story, DaVinci's Inquest, The Handler) at The Vancouver Film School in their Script Development Program. After the program I continued to hone my skills by writing and producing short films.

The first was, "The Provider," a comic tale about a farmer hunting a duck while saddled with a broken leg of his own. This was followed by, "The Terrible Old Man," which was sold to CBC, Bravo and Space. It also earned me a nomination in the Best Short Drama Screenwriting category in the 2002 Leos, the largest industry awards event in Western Canada.

In 2001, I optioned my second script, "Darkness," an urban horror / thriller to Wishbone Entertainment . We moved out of BC to Toronto. In 2002 I was hired by Wishbone to write, "Killers," a psychological thriller.

In 2004 I was hired to write, "Snapped," a feature horror project produced by Twisted Cow Productions Inc.

"Snapped," is in Worldwide distribution through Velocity Home Entertainment the video release arm of Think Film.

I wrote two double and two single segments for Creepy Canada (III) in 2006. My first foray into scripted television.

In 2007 I wrote Whiskey Four Two a millitary drama for Faranj Productions, the project is currently making the rounds in LA looking for a funding source. "Every Second Counts," a thriller project I started in 2005 and completed in 2007 has now been optioned by Macheby Pictures Ltd. Retitled, "Reliance," it will begin principal photography sometime this summer. This year it looks like I'll be doing two projects for Cinesavvy Inc. A Toronto based production company.

I'm available to Story Edit, you can contact me directly for rates.

It was fun and a little challenging at times as I was solo for the first part. I'm slowly posting the trip diary on my blog if you want to have a look. Though it is a bit Canadian at times. [link]

And hey, the Cosmonaught was cool!
