So The Mind Reels’ first year covering The Toronto After Dark Film Festival has come to an end, and it was FANTASTIC! Now that it’s over I thought it would be nice to compile my top 5 films of the festival. I want to be clear, I could have happily included A Fantastic Fear of…

Natasha Eloi Part 3
Welcome to the 3rd and final part of our chat with Natasha Eloi! We had such a good time with Natasha, and we can’t wait to have her come and visit us in the studio, and perhaps bring some of her cool collectables and toys! In this final installment we chat about our favorite…
Meanwhile in the Smithee.TV Studios…
Hey Folks! To share in some of the excitment of everything that is going on with Sue and I right now, and the fact that it’s the 1 year anniversary of The Mind Reels today… We thought we’d share some pics from our episode shoots in the Smithee.TV studios, watch for our faces on the…
Happy 1st Birthday for The Mind Reels!
When I was younger, physically and chronologically, not mentally, I often thought about talking and working with people in the entertainment industry. I also thought about being a starship captain like James T. Kirk or walking with dinosaurs, but hey, one dream at a time. Growing up, I was not necessarily an outsider, but I…
Lisa Wegner and Carl Elster
Sue and I headed to a west end Starbucks the other night, almost in my neck of the woods, to sit down and chat with artists and filmmakers Lisa Anita Wegner and Carl Elster. They’re getting ready for Nuit Blanche here in T.O. a huge night of free art that keeps the city awake until sunrise. Their…

The ladies are featured in the photo to the left, taken…
Natasha Eloi (Part 1)

We met for an evening of chattage at the Duke of Kent, and we sat there for almost three hours, and recorded for almost…
Fan Expo Day 4
Somehow, Day 4 of Fan Expo has come and gone – and it’s all over for another year. Wow. It’s been an amazing weekend, and each day just seemed to hold the bar or raise it in terms of awesomeness. This morning should have been a sign! Sue and I checked in at the Media…
Fan Expo Day 3
Saturdays can be tough at Fan Expo if you aren’t ready and prepared. Sue and I find that the real key to Saturdays is try to stay out of everyone’s way – stay off the floor as much as you can and enjoy the Q&As and photo ops. Pick one thing you need and want to…
Sandra DaCosta
Last weekend I got to set sail with the cast of Pete Winning & The Pirates thanks to my friend Sandra DaCosta, who I was finally able to sit down with and have a quick podcast chat with her. That’s the good news, the bad news is, it was kind of windy out there…
