"Many ups and downs but still around”

I should begin after film school, after much tumultuous time in film school where I was curb stomped and an ex-girlfriend was raped and murdered.

I made Lil' Star Duster which received some accolades from transgression artists out of NYC. and a prize through FILM CORE.

I was able to shoot Monolethea and funding for post came through BC ARTS COUNCIL and CINEWORKS.

I worked in BC for a number of years in various positions, but got caught up in the party scene and separated from my wife. Now divorced, I continue to make art films and the like while working on various larger projects, of course as luck would have it my band mate died mysteriously in her (Bethy) sleep, and my colleague(Tashanna) of many years-committed suicide. 

I do win accolades still and make music, write and paint but I seldom have any sort of budget that anyone would notice   what I am doing, although I do not mind the anonymity, but paying rent and filling the fridge can be a challenge.

All of this is well documented in a book I wrote ALL PURPOSE which took over ten years to write.
