So much fun directing these talented actors and working with such an amazing group. If you like the challenge of receiving a script on saturday morning and shooting that same day - the 48HourFest is for you! Wild and fun weekend!
HARDROCK MEDICAL: COMMISSIONED FOR TVO; EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
TVO’s first commissioned drama series (TVO/APTN)
Commissioned and collaborated closely with Distinct Features on this amazing Northern Ontario series.
Read John Doyle’s full review HERE.
“There have been a lot of genre-specific shows on Canadian TV. Too many, if you ask me. It speaks to the tiresome timidity of Canadian broadcasting executives - if it ain’t a familiar concept, it’s not getting made ... so it’s a relief to tell you about another medical drama that isn’t ordinary or banal - one that’s pithy, funny and inventive. Hard Rock Medical it is, and it’s very good.”
UNGROOMED: VIDEOGRAPHER
A cold and exhilarating day filming this short which honours the trust of working farm horses and celebrates the unbridled human/equine connection.
Shot on location at Reidell Farms
