Don't worry; everything is going to be pretty okay.
On October 22nd, you can come out to the Horror 2 Group Show and Sale at House Gallery (2607 35 St SW Calgary, AB) and check out the first ever public showing of the Tilt-Shift Horror Vignettes that Derek Bisbing and I created!
Here is the official facebook invite to the event for those of you who are into that sort of thing.
Calgary filmmaker Sebastian Salazar is putting on Slamberta, a screening of local and Alberta short films, and CGY & Day Job have been selected to screen in the program!
If you’re in Calgary, you can catch Slamberta 7pm on Sunday Oct 2nd at Melrose Cafe and Bar.
For more info, check out the Slamberta facebook or twtvite page.
My new short film, Beef Barley Brothers — written by Chris Turtle and starring Jayson Therrien & Josh Bertwistle, is finished!
Check out the teaser trailer below and watch the blog for updates on festival screenings.
This weekend we shot four horror vignettes I wrote and produced.
The project was directed by Derek Bisbing for a Halloween-themed art show at the end of the month in Calgary.
The vignettes were little slices of horror cliches done in single wide angled takes with a tilt-shift lens.
I’ll put up the dates of the art show when I can and the individual vignettes after that.
In the meantime, check out the set photos courtesy of Azriel Knight!
Day 1: Summonings & Zombies
Day 2: Slashers & Clowns

A new short film directed by James Reckseidler, starring Christopher Gamble & Beau Baker with some writing and producing by myself!
We’ll have a cut of the short ready by the end of the month for the Calgary Filmmakers Challenge. (Hopefully.)
Watched this short animated film by Caleb Wood via Booooooom last night, pretty great!
We are wrapped on the longest and most ambitious shoot I have ever undertaken!
And it was a huge success!
I can’t thank the cast and crew enough for all their killer work on the film!
Now I will get all the footage into post production and make a short film you’ll all be proud of!
In the meantime, you can check out a ton of behind the scenes photos on the Uni facebook page.

I saw a killer 16mm film at the $100 Film Festival this past weekend and I thought I might share.
Craig Orrett‘s short film Fowls is an optically printed masterpiece of a music video for a band called Hut. The crowd at the Saturday night screening of the festival was all a buzz about it during the after party (or, at least, those attendees I talked to).
I’ve posted it below but, needless to say, you really missed out on seeing the 16mm print projected!
Oh, and in case you’re interested, I’m running a fundraiser to make a short film satirizing ex-gay conversion therapy starring stand up comedian Darcy Michael!
