Toronto Screenwriting Conference 2015: Day 2

  Sue and I tackled day 2 of the Toronto Screenwriting Conference at Daniels Spectrum today, and through the course of the day started to come up with the bare bones of a short film we’d like to do, and my brain broke a story that I’ve been thinking about as three sperate tales but…

Toronto Screenwriting Conference 2015: Day One

  Sue and I have been very fortunate in our dealings with those folks involved in film and television here in Toronto. One of these have been the wonderful folk who are involved with the Toronto Screenwriting Conference, now going into its fifth year, and we’ve been lucky enough to cover the past two, and…

  Its that time of year again! The Toronto Screenwriting Conference is here again, and Sue and I are lucky enough to be invited back for our third year. Each year we’ve met and seen some amazing people, not to mention taking lots of notes to use for our own writing and storytelling. This year…

Toronto Comicon Day 3

  Yesterday was the last day of the Toronto Comicon, but Sue and I made sure we ended as happily and as strong as we started! We made sure to swing by and chat with our friend Tim Doiron at the 88 movie booth. Remember to check out their official site and trailer here. We sat…

Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)

  Leonard Nimoy has boldly gone. I only had the pleasure of meeting the man once, shaking his hand briefly at a photo op that left me look rather bewildered and goofy, but is still a treasured moment. He was kind, patient, and jovial with each of his fans that day, and despite the fact…

Tackling a Guinness World’s Record!!

Today’s the day. Wow. Starting at 7pm this evening, Sue Maynard and I will be going for the World Record for the Longest Uninterrupted Live Webcast. A Guinness World’s Record!!! But before I go any further, and before I become a completely incognizant wreck (Sunday should be a lot of fun!!) I want to take this…

A Birthday Post; Quite the Year

So, it’s my birthday. That’s not me asking for lots of comments and well wishes on Facebook or Twitter (though they are always nice), it’s simply a statement of fact, and I thought I would take a moment to reflect on the past year. It’s been a bit of a ride, but I think I’ve come…

Fan Expo 2014
